brightnes / contrast playback movies (1 Viewer)

[nightcatnl]

Hi all,

This problem affects playback of i.e. divx, xvid and mkv movie files.
When I playback those files in windows media player the brightness and contrast of the image is perfect. However when I playback the video files in MP the image seems to be to bright and there is not as much contrast as should be.
I tried to use different codecs for playback like MPV, ffdshow, ffdshow raw but no difference.

With TV playback I can set brightness and contrast (in MP config). Is there something possible like that for playback of movies too ?

Thanks in advance.
(I am using the latest stable release of MP 0.2.2.0)

. . .

In the mean time I installed the 2.3.0 RC1 version and still have the same problem. I see that when I take over the screen of my PC with VNC the following happens:

when i play a movie with media player i dont see the video on the remote pc (the one which is takeing over the mediaportal pc)
when i play a movie with media portal I see on both screens the video.

Does it has something to do with DirectX ? I installed the 9c version.

As I just found out via this forum yesterday...MP does not use Video Overlay as is the default in many other players. What this means is that if you adjust Gamma, Contrast, etc in the video section of your GPU settings it will not effect MP.

I had to make the setting changes in the 3D/Desktop settings section of the GPU control panel. This did the trick for me!

PS (This also explains the VNC thing you described too)

3D/Settings

Now I might like a bit stupid but you mean with '3D/Desktop settings section of the GPU control panel' the hardware settings from the card itself I assume. I will check it out ! Are the 3D/Desktop settings only affecting the fullscreen video playback ? Because TV and MP itself is ok. (Well, actually I did a correction for TV playback in MP config itself)

That should do it....Worked for my similar situation.
