Bug Description
This is related to #59539 #199975 #79559 and http://
But I don't think it has anything specific to do with any of the programs themselves. As far as I can tell this is a change that has happened (for me) either with the latest compiz or xorg in Hardy in the last couple of days (<17Apr08). I have not seen the problem before and the only thing that has changed is rebooting the machine. Looking at the test bars in VLC, I would guess that video is using complementary colours (ie CMYK, rather than RGB). On programs that have it (eg gxine->
Also changing from 'auto' ->opengl in xine (settings in 'master of the universe mode) cures the colour problem, but then kaffeine complains that opengl does not exist and reverts to auto (but usually works in correct colourspace and no extra cpu). Setting it to xshm also works but at the expense of more cpu and a very jaggy (not horizontally anti-aliased) output (at least from a DVB TV card). Gxine cannot be set to anything other than its default video driver (don't know why) and is always in the wrong colourspace for any video.
There a colourspace problem in *all* video playing programs that I have tried. It was not there in Gutsy, it wasn't there in previous versions of xorg in Hardy. Nothing else has changed. The default settings of all the video players no longer work correctly, whether playing DVDs/WMV files or from DVB tv cards.
Doing a test from setup will give you: http://
The hardware is Intel E8400, Intel Chipset, Nvidia 8600GT, Nvidia driver. I am up to date in Hardy as of posting.
