OK, people in videos on the web are blue, pretty sure they weren't always so, but they definitely are now.
Any thoughts?

try modding your video input, like java settings or other video settings... i'm new so idk...
Right click on the video, select settings and uncheck the "enable hardware acceleration" option. You'll most likely need to go full screen to do this.
I think I heard something about bad Nvidia drivers somewhere.
Any specific sites? Can you post a screenshot? Also, what type of graphics hardware do you have? AMD/ATI, Nvidia, or Intel. (alternatively, I can look it up based on your model number).Quote:

There ised to be a queer glitch where Totem's video setting defaulted to increased Cyan, after an update. Does that still occur? Does Totem have plugins for web use?
Worth a check, as it takes 5 seconds.
If you're talking about YouTube specifically, I read that it's an Adobe Flash problem.Quote:

No, it's Adobe's fault. Somewhere along the way they reversed the red/blue channels when Flash tries to play "Stage Video" streams that use the NVIDIA adapter's H.264 hardware acceleration code. YouTube uses Stage Video and thus you get "smurfed" people.Quote:

This bug was created by Adobe but will never be fixed, since they have discontinued support for Flash on the Linux platform. Nice of them to leave us with this bug just as they shut down development.
It's obscene really. Such an easy issue to fix. I just don't understand the contempt demonstrated by some companies towards linux. We may be small in relative size but there still is a heck of a lot of us linux users. The xorg nvidia driver crash introduced by nvidia 6 months ago (for some older cards) is a similar infuriating issue which nvidia just seem to ignore.Quote:

I had the same (comical) issue a while back. Here is the fix:

FYI: Development of flash on Linux has been turned over to Google, so all hope is not lost.Quote:

Hopefully Google will maintain Flash development for browsers besides Chrome. I prefer Chromium to Chrome, as it is open source.Quote:

You can have low grade video, choppy high res, or crystal clear high res smurfs.
i can't wait for Flash to die but it's gonna be a long time
I encourage people to sign up for YouTube's html5 trial, though in my experience most everything is still in Flash.
There are a few solution options on that page. Which one worked for you?Quote:
