Keyboard control do not work with mplayer

[prempujari]

Some control work and some do not

These controls do not work

1 and 2 (contrast)
3 and 4 (brightness)
5 and 6 (hue)
7 and 8 (saturation)

I can see the indicator bars on the video but they do not increase or decrease

Try enabling the software equalizer in preferences -> general -> video.

Ok, here is the thing.

I have made a BAT file that sort of works as a playlist from the DOS prompt. In the sense that it plays certain portions of a couple of video files for a certain time and then moves on to the next file.

This BAT file is a long list of commands that go like this

mplayer -ss 0:26:52.9 -endpos 0:06:00.00 "filename"

Only the filename, time and length changes.

I am only doing it this way as I don't know how to do it from graphic mode smplayer.

Now when I play each file independently from a DOS window I can adjust brightness, saturation, hue etc. just fine. But these controls do not work when I execute the BAT file.

The only way I can adjust these controls is from the 3rd party's (NVIDIA) control panel.

Try adding -vf eq2 to the mplayer command line.

Thanks. All the controls work now.
Can you help with Pan and scan also ? (w and e)
Code for pan and scan −panscan <0.0−1.0> does not work. Any ideas ?

Thanks for putting me on the right track

This is the code that did the trick:

-vo direct3d -panscan 1 -panscanrange 2.0 -aspect 1.00625

works on videos that fill only half the screen
