XBMC 13 + H/W-accel brightness control questions - kml2 - 2013-07-20
Hi,
I'm running an XBMC/head src build
Code:
xbmc --version
XBMC Media Center 13.0-ALPHA6 Git:20130717-503a576My Video card is an Nvidia 9600. I'm using NVidia's kernel drivers, not nouveau. VDPAU is supported, and enabled in XBMC. Video display/playback is smooth.
nvidia-settings are set to "Full" color range. Color reproduction is great.
When I start to play a video, the brightness/contrast are actually @ good levels for ~ 15 seconds -- then, the XBMC display gets darker.
The displayed video is quite dark, and almost unwatchable. The monitor's hardware brightness is already @100% -- and non-XBMC display is bright and high-contrast.
With H/W-accelerated playback -- i.e., with VDPAU enabled -- the brightness/contrast controls disappear. I understand this changed from Frodo.
Questions:
(1) are the brightness/contrast controls coming back for H/W-accel mode anytime soon?
(2) since the vids start out @ good brightness/contrast, then get darker, what setting/config/etc can I change to prevent that post-15-seconds darkening?
Thanks.
