Brightness/Contrast/Saturation controls

[totophe]

Salut Guy,

Thanks for the great piece of software.

Any chance you could include sliders for brighteness, contrast, saturation in the video player settings? Would help a ton when viewing some videos ....

Keep up the good work and happy new year!

Thanks for the suggestion, I was planning on adding this for the screen but it could also be added for the video player.

That would be awsome.
Thank you :-)

bump?
I would also like to see this feature, it seems that your integration of dx11 decoding is the only one that works flawlessly.
Studios tint their productions orange and movies often need their saturation boosted.. especially when washed out blacks are being produced by the 16-235 issue that plagues the rift cv1.

I want this badly and to be honest would like to see someone do this to inject into any app (hint hint) :) One thing (for Vive as thats all I can go on) I wanted or requested in steam VR for them to implement this ... gamma/brightness/contrast/saturation ... why the hell its never been in as standard for all headsets I will never know.

So if you are considering, please do so and if it can be expanded to standalone to inject into apps then you will solve something Valve never bothered with ... and your app will be invaluable for sure.

BTW I did mis read the thread somewhat ... my request is to effect the headset not just a certain player.

Oculus have expressly told Nvidia to exclude the control panel tab for their headset, there's a whole `the way it's meant to be seen` discipline at play that doesn't account for movie studios messing with their source post-production.
Also, they probably don't want a ton of returns caused by people burning out their displays/overburdening their hardware.. maybe.
still, it's an unfair restriction, i agree.
I'm ordering an Oculus Go tomorrow, hopefully that'll give me proper blacks and portability toboot.
I was instrumental in getting the hue slider added to whirligig when it was added, DeoVR i think, was the first to add one to theirs.
as for your desire, I'm surprised there isn't a third party app that is capable of such manipulations.

I’ll look into adding this in the next version. I’m quite busy working on the mobile version at the moment but it shouldn’t be too hard to add.

Steve Lee: the Oculus Go uses a fast-switch LCD panel so the blacks aren’t very deep but there is no smearing so images/text stays sharp when you move your head; for desktop usage it is much better than current PC headsets.

groovy. as long as it's an unaffected 0-255 the contrast will be an improvement.
after 12 hours of research including, a new HMD, this video sealed the deal;

I saw it mentioned for Vive offical some time ago regarding not wanting to damage etc with brightness setting and such. Which is pretty silly when they offer non direct mode and self admit an issue by having "night mode". Non direct is a option not a solution as it hits performance and acts a little odd in that mode.

Thing for me is the vive is too washy on gamma/brightness and is like that default, most want to REDUCE it only - if anything damage would come higher settings and even stock its bright so that argument they use is a bit silly to be honest.

Anyway this is more of a debate and thanks to author to consider and see - if anyone can come up with a app that can inject to any other app with a gamma/brightness etc slider menu they would have a tool for VR people would download in droves, even if it had a capped limit for increasingvalues above stock defaults. I use advanced tool from gitbubb and I wsh that author would do something similar for this part of VR .. that tool hasnt been updated for a long time and still its a "dont launch without it" addon.

I mentioned night mode but that still is a default setting, dont know if even that can be hacked to set its values? Night mode still doesnt hit the sweet spot for me and direct control is always best.
