It's getting ridiculous that this bug isn't fixed. Anyway, here's a tip for people who are impatient:
1. Install xvattr: sudo apt-get install xvattr
2. Create a diversion from /usr/bin/totem to /usr/bin/totem.real as follows: sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/totem.real --rename /usr/bin/totem
3. Create a new file called /usr/bin/totem, and add this into the file:
#!/bin/bash # To fix contrast issues totem.real "$@" & sleep 5 xvattr -a XV_CONTRAST -v 64 xvattr -a XV_BRIGHTNESS -v 0 xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 66051 xvattr -a XV_SATURATION -v 128
4. Finally, make this script executable: sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/totem
Each time totem plays a movie, this script will force default XV settings.
Why isn't this bug fixed yet?
