Topic: How to disable outer lighting and not change aspect ratio

I have started watching 3D side-by-side videos in SMPlayer which uses the MPV engine.  The videos need to be "half SBS" in order to work.  If I have SVP enabled it seems to be able to detect that it is an SBS video because next to the video profile it adds a " + 3D SBS."  So that's nice and the aspect ratio lines up nicely to blend the images.  The problem is that for some reason it automatically adds an "outer lighting" effect to the video present in the outer black bar regions which I do not want.  I can't figure out how to get rid of it without messing up the aligment of the images which ruin the stereoscopic 3D effect.

For example, the only thing that works is to have the "fill black bars" box checked when I go into "outer lighting-light patterns-manage patterns" window.  If this box is checked, though, you have to deal with the "outer light" patterns.  I've adjusted the dials to get the smallest effect possible, but there is still a "rim" of light at the edge of the scene that is distracting.  I just want it gone altogether.

If I check the option I really want, "no outer lighting," it completely changes the aspect ratio and the steroscopic images no longer line up properly.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks.  I did try that but the result is exactly the same as if you check "fill black bars."  The "outer lighting" effect is still enabled.  Interestingly, the effect is only present on the left image of the two SBS images.  However, when the images are blended it's very apparent.

Hitting the "disable" button doesn't work either since it alters the aspect ratio rendering the stereoscopic fusion unwatchable.

Hitting the "glow lights" button is the worst of all as you get the aspect ratio change along with the outer lighting still enabled.

this sounds like a bug
