why can't I edit hue, brightness, contrast and other video effects with vlc 3.0.20 on debian 12.5?
how do I start looking for the package I need?
This happens with some mkv files and to all mp4 files I play, both with apt and flatpak installed vlc versions.
this never happened on the same computer with xubuntu 23.10
You're viewing a single thread.
I don't know the answer offhand, but one thing I would do is see whether Mpv is equally effected. By default, the number keys 1-8 will control those settings.
thanks, now I know how to play with mpv.
However, each time I close the program, changes I made to those settings are lost. Is this how mpv works?
You can set the default brightness in mpv in ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf like this:
undefined
brightness=-10
Look in the manpage (man mpv) for other settings. I think any option like --brightness=-10 can also be put into mpv.conf by removing the -- at the beginning.
I don't know if there's a way to make mpv autosave this.
thanks
