Lua for effects

Postby infotermoo » 19 Sep 2012 13:33

Hello!

I have question regarding controlling post-processing effects from scripting environment.
I have searched a lot, but haven't found the answer.

Is it possible to change effects (brightness for example) from telnet/http/lua scripts?
I would need to do it while the VLC is running.

Thanks for answers!
Timo

Could You point out a documentation for this? Google is not that helpful this time.

Look at lua/intf/modules/httprequests.lua in vlc source code.

Thanks, found it. Added new a command for it:

elseif command == "brightness" then
vlc.config.set("brightness",val)

Just on more thing, the adjustment settings seems to be activated when I un-tick and tick "Adjust Image" checkbox in GUI. Any way to reload them with lua?
