Hi Folks,

after upgrade to 9.10 I wanted to watch a video in Movie Player.

The picture was there and running fluently but the color was screwed up - seemed to be inverted to a greenish kind of color set.

When playing back in VLC colors are fine.

Whenever I have opened ANY file in Movie Player prior, color also screws up in VLC and other players.

Is there some setting that might have been killed during the upgrade process that I haven't run across?

Thanks in advance for the help

Lars

I believe there is a color adjuster in MPlayer but not totem which one are you referring to.

I think it's Totem - it's the normal player being deployed with Ubuntu.

In another thread people are addressing a similar problem, and using the reset option in totem=edit-preferences-display then reset to default this only adjusts the brightness and contrast but it has seemed to fix some peoples problems.

Yes the "hue" slider in my settings was all the way to the left, a 'restore default' click fixed the issue for me. Thanks all!
