I didn't used gxvattr yet, although it's installed. In gxvattr, the settings are about half their respectives bar. Without playing totem-gstreamer.

In totem, by default, brightness is a little off on the left, contrast about 25% of the bar and saturation almost totally on the left.
I don't remember touching those settings, but i did some tests with gstreamer-properties. Like switching to x11/XShm/Xv or without Xv.

After changing those buttons approximatly half the bars, here are the new diff xvattr values:

They're approaching the new default values. Now the videos are watchables whereas everything was pretty much dark earlier.
But those value could probably match the default ones if we could numerally change them, instead of manually set them.
