[QUOTE="stounedi, post: 340435, member: 85491"] Hello! I have serious problem with Media Portal black levels. I tried it with Windows Media Player, and with WMP black levels are just perfect - There are no such problems as I am having with Media Portal. I am using ffdshow codec on both MediaPortal and WMP. But for some reason MediaPortal turns all black into gray, if I want to tune it back down I need to set my TV brightness/contrast so low I can barely see anything. On WMP I can use 50% brightness and 90% contrast setting on my tv, but in MediaPortal I need to drop them down to 30%... Which is really bad. The strangest thing is, that I am using the same codec on both programs (ffdshow). Anyone got any clue why MediaPortal is giving such bad output when WMP is just fine? I didnt find any answers to this problem with search, and clearly the problem has something to do with MediaPortal - Since WMP has none of such issues for me.
