why can't I edit hue, brightness, contrast and other video effects with vlc 3.0.20 on debian 12.5?

merompetehla@lemmy.ml to Linux@lemmy.ml – 18 points –

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

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:

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.
