Full/Limited Video Levels incorrectly displayed
Version 3.0.11; Windows 10
By actual measurement, luma levels of 235 are forced to 255 and luma levels of 16 are forced to 0. Input file is flagged as "full range". Unfortunately there is no way around this behavior.
Please allow users to configure VLC to defeat this behavior. I had to revert to version 2.2.8 which works just fine, leaving 235 at 235 and 16 at 16. ffplay leaves 235 at 235 on the same file in both the player and waveform modes.
Please see this exchange:

The video levels of the full-range file are 0, 16, 235, 255.
