hi, i'm using videolan player 0.8.2 to watch some trailers in mov format (windows xp) but even if i go and change the brightness to 1.30000 in the advanced settings when i close the player i get the darker 1.00000 value in brightness.

is there some way to get vlc to remember the brightness?

thanks.

preferences should be saved. (it works here)

I have the same problem: brightness, gamma, ecc are reseted every time VLC is opened, but vout-filter not

Bug? Perhaps because in preference is 1.0000 and in vlcrc is 1,00000

that might be possible (i tested with integer values). I'll have a look to see if its a vlc bug

Guest · Postby **Guest** » 12 Jul 2005 10:38

still doesn't work.

i'll be waiting for a fix or a new version.

best regards.

This doesn't answer your specific question, but it may be a better solution for you. I'm running Win2k with a GeForce 6800 card. I use my nVidia control panel to adjust the Overlay brightness and contrast. One adjustment, and all my movie players (that use video overlay) now have correct brightness and contrast.

Except that the nVidia driver sometimes forgets the settings. If I simply open and close the GeForce 6800 Properties window, the DVD suddenly snaps to correct brightness, and stays correct until I reboot.

Hasnt been fixed yet, atleast not for gamma

dionoea · Postby **dionoea** » 05 Oct 2005 20:54

windows or linux ?

That's a bug somewhere in VLC's core. It exists on OSX as well.

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/298

ksvenheim · Postby **ksvenheim** » 08 Oct 2005 01:55

It's marked as "fixed" now, but the bug is still there, so shouldnt it be opened? I just tested the latest nightly (vlc-0.8.4-test1-20051007-1508-win32.exe)

Postby **fkuehne** » 08 Oct 2005 12:28

That's a kind of strange, because we cannot reproduce it anymore (we tried that under Linux and Mac OS X only though). I'll ask people on Windows to try reproduce that. If it still exists, the ticket is going to be re-opened.

Anyway, which version of Windows are you using?

Postby **fkuehne** » 08 Oct 2005 12:43

Okay, we are unable to re-produce this on Windows as well. Note that you need to click on the "save" button inside VLC's preferences to store changes on the slider's values correctly. Otherwise, they will just don't get saved at all (that's due to the way the extended-GUI is implemented on Linux and Windows. The OSX-interface saves these changes automatically though.).

ksvenheim · Postby **ksvenheim** » 08 Oct 2005 22:47

Yes, that is very strange, because I am completely unable to make the settings stick. Ive done a complete uninstall (removed settings, cache, everything) and reinstalled vlc-0.8.4-test1-20051007-1508-win32.exe on my Windows XP SP2 system.

The settings under Video > Filters > Image adjust are per default 1,000000 on Image contrast, brightness, saturation and gamma.

If I set any of these values to a number that is not an integer, and hit save, after i close VLC and restart it, the values are rounded down to an integer.
I've tried typing in "0.9", "0,9" "1.5", "1,500000", "1.500000" etc etc, but they are all rounded down as soon as I restart. I don't know what to tell you, the bug is definitely not gone.

I have the same problem with vlc-0.8.4-test1-20051012-0000-win32 on Windows XP SP2.

Change the Video->Filters->Image adjust->Image gamma (1-10) setting from 1,000000 to 1,500000 and saving with Save.

This works fine until I restart VLC then the value is back at 1,000000.

Starting to get really annoying.

Did a clean install of vlc-0.8.2-win32 and it turns out that this bug is in 0.8.2 also so that didn't help me

I'm giving this a bump so its not forgotten

dionoea · Postby **dionoea** » 30 Oct 2005 00:54
