[mythtv-users] Brightness/Contrast - MythTV/IVTV

[Gary Huntress]

I'm now running MythTV 0.15 and a fairly current version of ivtv.  I ran
either 12 or 13 before (can't remember) and I had gotten used to having the
brightness and contrast controls available to me while watching live video.
They appear to be gone from mythfrontend and I recall reading that this
should be controlled directly via the ivtv driver.

I certainly have no problem with that.  I successfully used the ivtv utility
test_ioctl to change the brightness while playing live tv.  However, that is
relatively inconvenient (alt tab to a console window, type in the command or
execute a shell script.

So basically I have two questions:

1)  Is there currently a way to access the ivtv b/c settings from mythtv
0.15?
2)  Is there a way to bind a shell script to a keypress event ?   (ie I can
easily write a script to get/set b/c settings)

Barring that I'm sure I can find and change the default values for b/c in
the ivtv driver but I'd rather not do that.
