NVidia broke my movies
So here’s an interesting one… since installing that latest NVidia driver on my desktop partition, all my movies started playing with their colors all wrong.
At first I was blaming my kongoni baseline1 installation, adding codecs, rebuilding ports… and nothing helped. Then I started googling (why didn’t I do that in the first place) and got a few hits which made one thing clear, other people with similar problems had it when 3D video drivers were messing up the colourspace for some reason. This happened no matter what player I used, no matter the movie format… nothing made a difference.
Now this is not an NVidia first, I saw reports for the same issue on certain older ATI and Intel drivers. What annoys me is that NVidia did it with a release now - all those other reports were ancient. So ancient they all used the same solution which was to switch gstreamer to use plain X11 output.
