Invalid hue on video (video only, OpenGL is ok) on nvidia - ubuntu 9.10

[LimCore]

After upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10,
on intel quad core on intel mobo, with nvidia GFX,
videoplayers (xvideo?) are showing all movies with invalid Hue, like yellow becomes green etc.

If I open nvidia-setting and change around hue, then it works ok, untill restart of program (or recreation of X surface or something).

OpenGL works ok - in example mplayer -vo gl2 works fine (but without this option - the same problem)

I seen such problems long ago, around 8.04 or so, on some old nvidia (5200 perhaps?).

Same thing happened to me.Totem and VLC in wrong hue, but mplayer from the latest SVN tree (installed to /usr/local) works fine. ffplay built from source tarball also failed.

Thanks for confirming. I wonder if we can test on more various versions to bisect this problem.
Anyone can test with non-nvidia?

Issue seems to be the same as what is reported in bug reports 160866 and 447283.

I posted in 160866, but I'll put the same thing here.

I am experiencing hue shift in all my video players. The hue shift makes skin color look a slightly greenish blue, close to cyan. That which should be dark red becomes dark green.

I primarily use VLC, but the same problem is in Movie Player and MPlayer. In VLC, I adjusted the hue to correct the issue, but the issue in inconsistent. When I start a video, the issue may or may not be active. If I fullscreen the video, if the issue is inactive, it then may activate, or if it is active, it may stop, or there will be no change. I also get the same result when I skip ahead in the video, forcing me to be constantly turning off and on the hue adjustment.

I was thinking of doing a clean install of v9.10, but from the comments various threads, doing so won't fix the problem.

Don't know if this is a contributing factor, but I am using the NVIDIA graphics driver v185.

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
