color control (brightness) rarely working

I have the same problem which is very irritating!
I must correct the brightness every time I play a movie.
The checkbox remember settings doesn't do anything and the defaults settings aren't loading automatically. :cry:

Yep, same problem here. Very annoying :x

I think that brightness is indeed not one of the parameters which BSPlayer
saves when using "Remember Movie settings" from "General"-tab of "Preferences".
Have a look at the contents of bsplay.sav (open it with Notepad) and you will be able to figure out which settings are saved and which aren't.
:wink:

On "General"-tab of "Preferences": is "Don't load DivX;-) settings" checked/selected or not?
On "DivX"-tab of "Preferences": is "Remember settings" checked/selected or not?
:wink:
P.S.: There is also a "Remember settings" box on "HW color controls"-panel !!!
(to hailtothethief: Note there are two "Color controls" !!; doesn't the HW color control work either??)

Bsplayer v0.86 built 501 fixes that bug. Thanks BST! :D

BSpeter, I meant that "remember settings"box from the beggining..

OK HackerWerger, I unfortunately couldn't know that, as there are more "remember settings" boxes than only that particular one. What's more, I didn't realize that you were using a pre "Build 501, 5 Sep. 2003"-version, against which I checked your post and which did work fine for me. Anyway, I'm glad that your problem is solved now.
:lol:
By the way HackerWerger, I took the liberty of linking to your "unofficial FAQ"-page in item 4 of my "Help to Help"-post (click on link below). I trust you do not mind!
:wink:

I have to pick up the issue again: the remember settings checkbox under HW colour control does not make the player remember.
I confirm I have to reset adjustments everytime I play a movie.
I'm talking about "final" 501 version

That's ok with me, I don't mind!

That's not true. This particular option seems to have a small bug but it is working. Just check the brightness level and click the "remember settings". Then, uncheck the checkbox and check it again. Close the window box and exit. The next time your settings will be loaded! 8)

Simple stupid question, dudes. Why don't use the HW overlay control, witch both nVidia and ATI drivers have...? :wink:
I never then need bother with these BSplayer settings. Frankly, i don't know for 3 years, that BSplayer have these options and i using the player daily :wink: 8)
