Which version has brightness/contrast interface?

Postby jimsocal » 12 Nov 2005 23:20

Hi,
I looked all over the site and could not find a history of versions which says for example "v.8.x has added brightness and contrast controls on a control panel". I did read that this was going to happen, but has it been done yet? If so, which version has it?

I am hestitant to download v.8.2 because of the audio problem. Or has this been fixed in the new Beta?

Hi

Settings - enable "Extended GUI" - on the "Video"-Tab you have to enable "Adjust Image".
Now you are able to adjust Hue, Contrast, Brightness, Saturation, Gamma.

Thank you. But what I am looking for is a version with the video controls available when it opens, always there for adjustment, like WMP has. So that I can have it open nearly full screen but with the controls at my service. Do any of the VideoLan versions have this?

I don't remember any version that included this feature. What you can do is to remember the shortcut (CTRL+G) and in addition to detach the video from the player. Settings - Preferences - Interface - General - wxWindows - disable "Embed video in interface".

Maybe you can get rid of this problem by creating your own skin. ;)

It might also be usefull to post your request into the Feature Requests forum.

The resulting problem could be that you want to reach the controls while you are in fullscreen-mode.
You are able to do that by:
Settings - Preferences - Interface - Control Interfaces - Enable "Interface showing control interface" - save, restart VLC.

To use this feature, VLC has to be in fullscreen then move your mouse to the top of the screen and the control interface should appear.
