i get the same problem in all video players (totem, vlc, mplayer, even tvtime!). i've managed to fix the problem in vlc by changing the output from "xvideo" to "X11" and mplayer works fine if i use "gmplayer" instead. with normal mplayer, i get this message when i play a video:
VO: [xv] 480x360 => 480x360 Planar YV12 however, with gmplayer (which has normal color) i get this message: VO: [x11] 480x360 => 480x360 Planar YV12 [swscaler @ 0x8934890]SwScaler: using unscaled yuv420p -> rgb32 special converter i guess gmplayer uses X11. perhaps that 2nd line is X11 output? this started happening suddenly. i was watching TV in tvtime, and then suddenly the colors changed. i think it was possibly just after i installed some codecs in totem. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13153267/Screenshot.png -- Hue color & Contrast way off on Video apps. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160866 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
