Get backlight, contract etc. infos #395

Open Weltraumeule opened 1 month ago

Weltraumeule commented 1 month ago

Is it somehow possible to get info about active picture mode, backlight value, contrast value etc. and write everything in a text file or in clipboard, so that I could use the info as variables in other program? Maybe by pressing a hotkey get the values in the clipboard or write in a file. Or maybe when a preset is executed, it should write the it's values in a (log) file so I could get the infos from there?

Unfortunately the only values that are returned by WebOS are backlight, brightness, contrast and color. It's not possible to request other values like picture mode, HDR Dynamic tonemapping, etc. The only thing that's possible with ColorControl is remembering the last set value. But that's probably not very reliable if you change settings manually on the TV and currently you cannot instruct ColorControl to list these values other than viewing the Game Bar for example.
