What VLC version are you using?

I'd guess git master so here it comes:
the "hue" setting is attached to the "adjust" video filter2 object. So
you'd need to run var_Set( p_filter, "hue", val ); (btw, you can use
var_SetInteger)

If the adjust filter wasn't already available in the filter chain, you
can just use var_SetString( p_vout, "video-filter", "adjust" );

You can read modules/gui/qt4/components/extended_panels.cpp to see a
(complex) code example.
