immediately after initialization. The value 0 works as with video.
+``--video-output-levels=<outputlevels>``
+ RGB color levels used with YUV to RGB conversion. Normally, output devices
+ such as PC monitors use full range color levels. However, some TVs and
+ video monitors expect studio RGB levels. Providing full range output to a
+ device expecting studio level input results in crushed blacks and whites,
+ the reverse in dim gray blacks and dim whites.
+
+ Not all VOs support this option. Some will silently ignore it.
+
+ Available color ranges are:
+
+ :auto: automatic selection (equals to full range) (default)
+ :limited: limited range (16-235 per component), studio levels
+ :full: full range (0-255 per component), PC levels
+
+ .. note::
+
+ It is advisable to use your graphics driver's color range option
+ instead, if available.

``--hwdec-codecs=<codec1,codec2,...|all>``
Allow hardware decoding for a given list of codecs only. The special value
``all`` always allows all codecs.
