Hy.

What effects?

Video/Brightness

I do not see those enabled in your log, to be honest.

I enabled it but i checked and many times i played these files they somehow turn off the video effects... I don't know how... I use the increased brightness on all of my movies.... After i enabled on these videos the effect still remain enabled for a period. I played other files between them... but after a time because an unknow reaason these files again disable the effect.... I make new debugs....

Ok. I find. I enabled the video effects... i close and restart the player. After it the video effects are disabled.... But on other files they work as enabled... I see other files with increased brightness... After i enabled and disable manually i see them with the real disabled effects.... Therefore i didn't recognize the role of the restart because most files seems to be played normally.....
