[Bug 424864] Re: Video colors appear inverted

 

This bug is also present in 11.10 with Intel GMA915 graphics on a Dell
Inspiron 9400 (E1705) and a HP Probook 4525s with ATI Mobility Radeon HD
5000 with proprietary drivers. I'd say this bug is with Totem, and only
Totem messing up the settings. Both Dell and HP are fresh installs
though updated (just update, not release-update), and it's not always
there after an install, but might show up again after an update. And as
can be evidenced by how far back in time this bug goes, I'd say it's
about time someone checked out Totem.

This bug isn't consistent for chipset-maker, chipset or even on the same
machine. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. But the fix is always
to turn the hue in Totem down to minimum. The only program EVER to not
be affected by this bug is Totem. It doesn't even respond to the hue-
slider at all. No matter if it's at absolute minimum, absolute maximum
or anywhere in between, the colors WILL NOT CHANGE in Totem.

Title:
  Video colors appear inverted

Status in Totem Movie Player:
  Unknown
Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When playing any video, with Totem, mplayer or VLC with the non-free
  NVidia driver installed, it appears that the blue and red channels are
  swapped so the colours look messed up.. It's the 180 driver that was
  loaded, and switching back to the free driver resolves the issue.

  The normal desktop, X and Compiz work fine... the problem is only with
  video playback.
