[gentoo-user] Adjusting brightness on videos. kmplayer in particular.
Hi, I downloaded CSI and a NCIS video a while ago. I'm trying to watch it but it is really dark. I am using kmplayer with mplayer for the backend. I found where it says you can adjust brightness and contrast but they don't do anything. The screen looks fine outside of watching a show. Here is some emerge info just in case I missed a USE flag or something: r...@smoker / # emerge -pv kmplayer mplayer These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

They move and they are not grayed out or anything, they just don't work. It reminds me of adjusting the volume when it is muted. Ideas? Dale :-) :-)

It reminds me of adjusting the volume when it is muted. Ideas? Try other output drivers. Run mplayer -vo help to see what drivers are supported. I've just tried it with xv (default) and it didn't work. x11 driver works, but the brightness of the whole X changes. Using gl and gl2 output everything works as expected. Cheers, Renat You da man !! I first checked out the command you gave and I have a lot of options listed. After reading the man page, should I mention that thing is HUGE, I then opened kmplayer and checked out the options there. I selected the OpenGL driver and it now works. It goes from completely black to blindingly white. Now I can watch my shows and see something besides the light bulbs. O_O THANKS MUCH !! Dale :-) :-)

Changing the hue doesn't work here anymore for some reason, though. Cheers, Renat signature.asc Description: PGP signature
