This happens with ALL video files of many different formats and encoded
with a lot of different codecs (h264, mjpeg, mpeg4, flv, ....), but not
all files. In ALL applications (different video players, video editing
applications), when playing back video, it is displayed with wrong
colors (everything looks bluish).
IMPORTANT: even some videos that looked fine a few weeks ago are played
with the messed up colors now. So it is definitely a regression in some
recent update of some package that got updated automatically.
However, when video previews and still frames are shown, they always are
display correctly. The funny thing is that video is processed correctly, that
is, whatever video editing application I use to read, process, and output the
video, the resulting video is OK if I take it to another machine. All programs
display it wrongly but process it correctly, so it is not a problem with the
codecs. If I extract images from videos, for example, they are OK.
The only application that shows the video correctly when playing is
Avidemux.
All the following applications play back the video with wrong colors:
- Gnome MPlayer
- Movie Player
- VLC
- Pitivi
Thumbnails in Nautilus are shown correctly, and even in the above programs,
frame previews in the timeline and thumbnails are shown correctly.
