No config option to disable "ColorBalance" filter #103

Closed mighty-p closed 6 years ago

mighty-p commented 6 years ago

As per @pesintta's comment in https://github.com/pesintta/vdr-plugin-vaapidevice/issues/79 ColorBalance filter "is currently always enabled and you cannot disable it from settings or from setup.conf."

Actually, it would be good to add the missing option to switch this filter on or off, same as it is possible for the other filters.

As a side effect, this would also make vaapidevice work out of the box with Ubuntu Xenial (their current LTS version) and distros based on Ubuntu Xenial (such as the current version of Mint). At the moment, these distros ship a pretty outdated version of libva that has a bug in the ColorBalance filter that produces "funny" line artefacts in the picture.

I can confirm that this change indeed fixes the problem with Ubuntu Xenial / Mint 18.3. As soon as I deactivate the ColorBalance, the funny line flickering goes away.
