xvimagesink/fglrx x1400 - Strange video colour hues

[andrewm]

Hello

I've been getting a strange bug that has appeared since Dapper (I'm currently running Feisty) which involves the output colours of a video when played using xvimagesink.

When using XV output in Mplayer and VLC there doesn't seem to be a problem.

However both Totem and gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=./videofile.avi ! avidemux ! xviddec ! ffmpegcolorspace ! videoscale method=1 ! xvimagesink return the same colour distortion.

If ximagesink is selected in gstreamer-properties the picture is also fine.

My hardware is a Toshiba Tecra A6 laptop with a Mobile Radeon X1400 video card using fglrx version 8.32.5, however this has occurred in all previous versions since Dapper.

Curiously, I found that enabling XGL (not AIGLX) fixed the problem, however this isn't very practical.

I will attach screenshots of the video output and my xorg.conf and xvinfo output.

Thanks for your time.

This is already fixed upstream. We will get the fix with the next upstream version (or the next CVS snapshot)

I still have the same problem in totem, faces look blue etc. I'm on Feisty Fawn with all current updates installed.

OOPS, it was rather this one: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+question/7373
Cesare's solution helped me, too. Just forget what I wrote.

I don't know when the fix has been commited, but in Gutsy, the same thing happens ... I had to use Cesare's tip to make it work ...

Maybe the bug is in the ATI driver ...

I'm seeing this after upgrading to 9.10 (was not present in 9.4) . I have an nvidia card (9400 GT). Direct rendering is on and the nvidia drivers appear to be functioning.
