From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

why can't I edit hue, brightness, contrast and other video effects with vlc 3.0.20 on debian 12.5? (lemmy.ml)

how do I start looking for the package I need?

This happens with some mkv files and to all mp4 files I play, both with apt and flatpak installed vlc versions.

this never happened on the same computer with xubuntu 23.10

Can you check what video driver you are using? You might be on some kind of software renderer.

What does

glxinfo | grep renderer

say?

[–] merompetehla@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

that command returns

GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, GLX_MESA_swap_control, GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, GLX_MESA_swap_control, Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer): OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2)

This looks good.

I don't know how to figure out on vlc what sort of output method, codec, or hardware acceleration it's currently using, so I second the other person who recommended mpv.
