[Solved] Where is mplayer's contrast saved?

Hello!
When changing contrast/brightness in mplayer with "1", "2" keys on the keyboard - where is it saved? I am not quite sure where to reset this setting.

Just start mplayer with the argument "-contrast 0" - it's resetted then (or put this in your mplayer config to have always the default value).

Re: [Solved] Where is mplayer's contrast saved?

The values are saved by the video driver, not mplayer. If for example you open a video in mplayer, adjust the contrast and then open vlc, the contrast will be the same (if you use the same output driver of course). This is true for the xv video output driver, maybe others don't save the values. I asked this on the mailing list few weeks ago. To reset the values on startup, put those lines into the ~/.mplayer/config

brightness=0
contrast=0
hue=0
saturation=0
