Color Balance settings have no effect on the output

[aamukahvi]

Totem preferences --> Display tab --> Color balance

These settings do nothing. I cannot change brightness or anything. I'm using totem-xine and libxine-extracodecs.

[aamukahvi (aamukahvi)]

Elaboration: I can move the sliders, but to no effect. And, I'm on Dapper.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? What videocard do you have? What xorg videodriver do you use?

[Ben Pregont (starnix)]

I am getting the exact same behavior:

Dapper Flight 5
Nvidia Quadro NVS 280 PCI 64mb.
Nvidia Binary Drivers 1.0-8178
Default Video Output Plugin "XWindows (NoXV)" (I've tried the other options but they produce even worse results)
Default Audio Output Plugin "Alsa"

I do have xcompmgr running with composite enabled in xorg.conf. I am using the GLX extension, however I am not using the "dri" option.

I have the "RenderAccel" and "AllowGLXWithComposite" options enabled.

Here's the difference. I am using Totem 1.4.0 Using GStreamer .10.4. I have the gstreamer-ffmpeg package installed.

I do have the Win32 codecs installed. I am not sure if that matters or not.

[aamukahvi (aamukahvi)]

Sebastian:

I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 with the latest updates (dist-upgraded from Breezy).
Geforce 6200 256MB (non-Turbocache)
Nvidia binary drivers (1.0-8178) from repo
Video output using Xv

I'm currently running Xgl+Compiz, but it was no different with X.org.

Here's something from xorg.conf:
Section "Module"
# Load "GLcore"
 Load "i2c"
 Load "bitmap"
 Load "ddc"
 Load "dri"
 Load "extmod"
 Load "freetype"
 Load "glx"
 Load "int10"
 Load "type1"
 Load "v4l"
 Load "vbe"
EndSection

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Nvidia Geforce 6200"
 Driver "nvidia"
 BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
 Option "NoLogo" "true"
 Option "NvAGP" "3"
 Option "RenderAccel" "true"
        Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
EndSection

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Does it happen if you don't use the composite options and the nv driver instead of nvidia?

[aamukahvi (aamukahvi)]

I can confirm it works now with nvidia-glx 1.0.8756. No changes made to xorg.conf. You can probably close this bug.

[aamukahvi (aamukahvi)]

Hold it! It still doesn't work with Xv output. The settings only work when using OpenGL output.

(Specified video.driver=opengl in ~/.gnome2/totem_config)

[aamukahvi (aamukahvi)]

And with the nv driver the problem persists. AllowGLXWithComposite disabled.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Does it happen with totem-gstreamer and xine-ui too?

[aamukahvi (aamukahvi)]

It happens in totem-gstreamer. I cannot comment on xine-ui, because I couldn't change the settings at all.

I clicked on the icon with sliders (in the controls window) and up came the brightness contrast hue etc settings (+skin). When I tried to move the sliders, the whole window would move. Then again, I'm not even sure they're the settings for the picture. First time using xine-ui and that's all I could find.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you still have the issue?

[aamukahvi (aamukahvi)]

Yes. I tried with totem-gst and totem-xine, only t-x works.

[Lionel Dricot (ploum-deactivatedaccount)]

Here, with the proprietary Nvidia driver, color balance works fine with totem-gstreamer if the Video sink is set to "autodetect" in gstreamer properties.

If you manually set the sink to "No Xv", then I can confirm that color balance will have no effect.
I confirm and set this as a minor bug because not everyone wants to change the Sink to No Xv.

BTW, the reset button in the color balance has a little bug I've reported upstream ;-)

[Guillaume Desmottes (cassidy)]

This bug is still present in Edgy.
I tried with nv and nvidia driver and have the same problem with both drivers.

Lionel could you try again please (i suppose you're using Edgy now :) ?

[kripken (kripkenstein)]

I have this problem as well. Things were fine on Dapper with the nvidia binary drivers, but on Edgy (again with "nvidia" drivers) this bug occurs for me, both on Totem and gXine.

[Arif Lukito (arifl)]

Hi, disabling composite fixes it for me.

[RobertZenz (robert-zenz)]

Hallo.
I also have this problem, none of the sliders change a thing. I have the problem with totem-xine only, with totem-gstreamer or xine-ui it works fine.

Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft (Upgrade from Dapper Drake)
Nvidia Gforce 4 (using nvidia-glx)

P.s.: Tried to change video.driver to opengl (as mentioned above), doesn't help. Composite is also disabled.

[RobertZenz (robert-zenz)]

To that thing with that opengl.
It seems like that the file gets rewritten everytime I start totem...means he always overwrites my setting to opengl with auto.

Don't know if this has anything to do with it.

[kripken (kripkenstein)]

This bug is still present in Feisty (clean install).

[Remus Boara (rem)]

Same here on Feisty (fresh install)... with proprietary nvidia driver if set on Xv. It is working with Opengl though but the subtitles are displayed above the black border (very close to the middle of the screen).

[Ramaddan (ramaddan)]

I confirm this problem here as well.

I am using Ubuntu Feisty 7.04, with nVidia propriety drivers for nVidia GeForce 7600 GS.

Nothing I do makes it possible for me to change Brightness, Contrast, or any of those.

[kripken (kripkenstein)]

This bug is still present in Gutsy, Release Candidate.

As in Feisty and Dapper, the brightness/contrast controls in Totem work fine when using the "nv" driver, but when using the binary nvidia driver they have no effect whatsoever.

[Mikal Krogstad (mikal-krogstad)]

Still present in the fully updated 64-bit 8.10. Nvidia binaries here too.

[Aaron Plattner (aplattner)]

The Xv texture adaptor doesn't have color controls on GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs. For GPUs that also have an overlay adaptor, that has color controls but is disabled when the Composite extension is enabled, which is by default. If there's a bug here, it's that Totem presents the color control UI elements when the underlying hardware doesn't support them. It should be querying the adaptor to see if it supports the XV_HUE, XV_BRIGHTNESS, etc. attributes. You can use xvinfo to get a list of the available adaptors and their supported attributes.

[lcn_mustard (lcn-mustard)]

Adjustments of I shine & clash no it works. I use the totem.Ajuda groan we!?! hello Acabei of installing the ubuntu 8.04 on a pcchips a15g all is OK with excessão of the totem. The controls of I shine & clash do not have a effect. Already I gave the the next commands :

sudo update-alternatives --config totem escolhi o totem xine mas parece ter ficado dividido, asteristico marcando para um e sinal de + para outro.

sudo apt-get install totem-xine

Like doing about to use barely the totem xine & I shine & clash I'll be functioning? Does that you have relation with the xorg? thank you

The 18 month support period for Feisty Fawn 7.04 has reached its end of life some months ago. As a result, we are closing the linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20 task. It would be helpful if you could test the
new Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 release and confirm if this issue remains -
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904overview. If the issue still exists with the Jaunty
release, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux (Ubuntu)". Thanks in advance!
