Hotkey Request : Change Brightness, Contrast on the fly

[TKOC]

Hello,

Well, actually there is no way to do on the fly some adjustments of some basic video filters, like brightness and contrast, on VLC 1.03.

By on the fly, I mean with some hotkeys. There are some hotkeys to "crop one pixel from the <direction> of the video", but nothing for brightness who would be more useful, etc...

So I have to pause, reduce fullscreen, open the extended settings, activate "image adjust" and make changes. Annoying at hell, especially when you do it most than one time on the same video...

On SMPlayer or MPUI for exemple, I just have to press the " (3) key to reduce brightness and ' (4) to increase it without have to pause or whatever, etc... It is so convenient that I can't do without it. So I prefer use SMPlayer than VLC, only for this reason.

Is there a chance to see this hotkeys implemented in VLC 1.1 series ?

If someone sends patch, then maybe. Problem starts to be, that there are too many hotkeys in VLC.

I believe this is a usefull one, but it might not come in 1.1

That was odd...My entire previous reply elided from the followup.

Anyway, I wanted to add my agreement with the O.P.: VLC really should have quick access to brightness and contrast. The process of navigating dropdown menus and checkboxes, then requiring the user to exit and restart VLC...that's incredibly obscure and user-unfriendly.

Variable quality of video clips necessitates frequent access to those two parameters, so there should be an easily accessed, interactive op (NOT requiring restart). If users desire, they could map hotkeys, but even direct access to a top-level menu would be an improvement.

You don't have to restart VLC if you use Effects and Filters.
