Question about video playback

[Floyd]

I am currently working on a heavy oriented video theme and I noticed that the video files in RetroFE being played are washed out compared to to the same files in any other video player (VLC etc). I don't know what coded for video playback RetroFE uses but it seems like contrast is toned down and generally brightness is on a high side. Is there any possibility to alter brighntess/contrast settings?

We're using gstreamer on SDL, but in all honesty: I know little more than that at the moment. I'll run some tests.

I'm still considering dropping that library altogether, but there's only so much time available. 😢

Now you mention it, you are correct.
I just tested the same thing with my retrospin layout, playback out of retrofe is more vivid.

To be fair though, you wouldn't really notice

Pieter, have you tried the VLC libs for playback?

Please note, I am not a coder/developer and I don't know the first thing about it!!! lol.
