Quote:Maybe the defaults have changed in the kernel drivers in 18 ?

Can you use something like v4l-ctl to adjust brightness and contrast ?

----

You need v4l-utils package installed afaik:

https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/tree/master/packages/sysutils/v4l-utils

To install that should be these commands run from the Libreelec SSH shell:

Codeudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install v4l-utils
afterwards v4l-ctl will be present as that is part of the utils 

As to the cause I'm not entirely sure, best guess:

- Default brightness / gamma changed in LibreElec test build for grabbing devices which v4l-ctl can correct but not ideal.
- Kodi 18 defaults to 10bit and doesn't play nice with 8bit readouts (losing brightness as a result)

It's completely untested, but I hope it works.

Also you seem to be running the "official" hyperion version, not the LE addon version - have you tried using the hyperion addon from the LE repository instead?

I'm using hyperion with the dispmanx grabber, previously the precompiled version from hyperion and since some time the LE addon version - didn't have any issues so far with any of that in 8.2 and milhouse builds.

 I just did a clean build from a scratch and the DVD playback does not work. It works fine in your build. What could be the issue? I did not make any changes, it should be identical to your build. The build command line was "PROFILE=pi2 ./autobuild.sh". Log.
