Hello,

I want to suggest some improvements to Videolanclient.

First, i found a failure with version 0.7.1, which causes a break in video if pressed pause or if moved the cursor to another time. After doing this the sound can be heard but the video isnt shown anymore. So the video has to start again to see all the video. I cant say what codec it is, because I dont know how to see, but it occured with some videos.

Second I find the Extended Screen under Options a good thing. There you can set the video to 16:9 or 4:3. I would like to change the height and widht manually, because there are video, the person are to thin. So setting to 16:9 can help, but sometimes there are videos, where the persons are even too thin at this time. So a manually setting would be fine.

Third, some videos are very dark. For example blade 2 or other dark videos. It doesnt change much to set the monitor or other gamma or so on. It makes it only a bit better but the dark becomes only more white, but not more accurate. The gamma with vlc in extended settings cant change this too. But I believe the elecard player can do this. There changing the gamma will get out of the dark places of video what was hide in the video. Its not only set the screen more light, it seems to find out what is hide in video. It seems to be a difference. Some videos are too dark to see because in the dark parts there is nothing detailed, because all is black and the gamma at vlc seems to not correct this fine.

Maybe there can be done something. It would be fine.

thanks,
Sebastian
