[mythtv-users] Re:recording changes settings made by test_ioctl

[Khanh Tran]

Besides the fact that setting it 422 times is horrible, it doesn't
actually do anything.  I tried entering equivalent ratio values from the
ivtv numbers to the larger MythTV numbers.  Can you post more detailed
info?  I thought I could set the  default in the stable version of
ivtv...

No doesn't matter, Myth sets brightness and contrast to values stored in

the database by channel. 

Have you tried running WebMyth and browsing to the
configuration->channels 
page, then setting the brightness etc in there? 

Failing that you could set the values in the sql table directly, I think

its the "channels" table, you should be able to find posts about editing

the database, I don't have the info in front of me. 

afaik you can't change these through setup or the front-end. 

Hope that helps, I can give more details if they are needed - or I'll
post 
it properly to the wiki after the weekend!
