The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

I am using the .Net interface provided by Tappen.
I need to control the brightness, contrast,hue in the code.
I belive that the following lines of code should do it....

this.vlc.AllowVideoAdjustments = true;
this.vlc.Brightness = 10;

But there is no change in the playing video's brightness

Am i using it correctly or am I missing any thing...
Are there any other alternatives to this...

Thanks in advance

cheers
Paul

You might want to ask in this forum category instead: viewforum.php?f=16 (which is where all ActiveX related posts are made).

Yes you are right, the AllowVideoAdjustments should have worked, but it isn't for some reason's you can find out while debugging the code. To make a long story short, use this as a quick fix in NativeLibVlc.cs :

string[] initOptions =
{
NativeLibVlc.vlcInstallDirectory,
":no-one-instance",
":no-loop",
":no-drop-late-frames",
":disable-screensaver",
":vout=vout_directx",
"--vout-filter=adjust",
"--plugin-path=" + NativeLibVlc.vlcInstallDirectory + @"\plugins",
};

Notice, how the "--vout-filter=adjust" line was added, that's all. And now you can drop the AllowVideoAdjustments.
