[Feature Request] Follow device brightness about player

[moneytoo]

Player follows system volume. I agree that the initial brightness level would be better the same as current system one. However I intentionally want manual brightness only and not to complicate things with settings for that (to prefer system brightness).

[moneytoo]

I'm not sure if changing system brightness is possible (at least not without permission) - and definitely not expected. This player has its own brightness, just like MX Player - it also has its own brightness which it saves and restores (at least this is the default).

[moneytoo]

I will try setting the initial brightness. I already have one function for it prepared.

It would be possible to use system brightness just until user starts manually controlling it (like NewPipe does)... But it would be too much code for such such a feature I don't really want to support.

@moneytoo I don't really care about the brightness being manual or not, after all I think having this control over brightness in an affordable way is quite useful for most people. Can the app control the system's own brightness rather than being separated is a viable alternative? I really don't know, but I believe you'll choose the best way.
Thanks for the answers.

@moneytoo Got it. So, unless you want to look for a way to make the initial brightness follow the system level even with the manual brightness setting I think this issue can be closed. Anyway this is not very important so you can see it calmly later.

@moneytoo Thank you so much!

[moneytoo]

I'm afraid that it's not possible to detect current system brightness to use it as initial value for the manual control within the Player app. MX Player also isn't able to do that and uses its own initial brightness.

[RickyM7]

@moneytoo Actually, in the case of MX Player, it has the options of controlling the brightness of the system (in this option the brightness is always equal to that selected in the system) or control the brightness manually. But no problem, thanks anyway.

[RickyM7]

@moneytoo I just realized that The NewPipe follows the brightness of the system even with the manual control (the initial brightness of the player is the same as the system). Could you take a look at this at some point?

[RickyM7]

@moneytoo Got it.
