Hi there, I've been coding an API-only media player for windows, using the mciSendString function. It's been going fine, but I can't figure out how to use the "setvideo" command to actually change the brightness. I've trawled through the MSDN docs online, and tried various methods like those below, to get any change in brightness:
ret = mciSendString("setvideo playfile brightness to 2", 0&, 0&, 0&)
ret = mciSendString("setvideo playfile brightness to 1500", 0&, 0&, 0&)
ret = mciSendString("setvideo playfile brightness to 333", 0&, 0&, 0&)
ret = mciSendString("setvideo playfile brightness to " & RGB(200,200,200), 0&, 0&, 0&)
MSDN describes the brightness setting as a "factor". So I would have thought "2" would make it twice as bright. But...No change, and the error-getting function doesn't turn up any info either. If anyone knows how to do this, I'd really appreciate the help.
