Dark Mode

[tjdevries]

Hi! This is a feature request / question.

I was wondering if it'd be possible to stream in "dark mode", where everything is just inverted. I do some streaming and usually I have dark colors for everything, but then I have a big white screen that makes people not as happy 😆

Anyway, love the project and twitch chat is always impressed with how cool it looks :)

Thanks!

Ah, After testing for a bit, it seems I can do video_filters="negate" to do this! Not sure if that's helpful or if I missed the builtin way to do this :)

Thanks!

Hi @tjdevries, there is currently no builtin way to do this other than editing the script like you did. However, I would gladly accept a PR which adds an option like --extra-filters negate which would pass extra video filters to ffmplay.

Also nice to hear you are enjoying my script! Send your twitch chat my regards 😉

Does "negate" still work for you?
I looked into it, but when I pass it as an option, it only shows a white screen.
It has something to do with the colourlevels, I found. They are manipulated because the screen is otherwise too dim, so it is brightened up 8 times, but for some reason, negate then turns everything white for me.

Update: I get the right effect when "negate" is at the end of the filter-list, not at the beginning.

Maybe this could be added in the PR (that implements #70 ), that all user-specified effects are applied at the end?
