Yes, this is on the present release. I am using the i915 video driver, I can't tell if it's a video post- processing problem or the overlay/acceleration, and the problem is visible both on fullscreen and windowed operation. It also seems to be intermittent, perhaps related to the codec for a given file. the video is being sent to an external LCD via the laptop RGB port, so no power saving or LCD brightness control on the laptop is expected to be a factor.
I'll try to spot the codec when it happens again, but for a list of similarly encoded files it renders correctly for a few then dims on a change. Sorry this is so vague, I haven't measured it and only notice when actually in on-the-couch-mode rather than let's-troubleshoot mode. -- Video output dims on file change https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/500413 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
