I'm using gxine right now to watch byutv and everything is fine, however, a few weeks ago I was having trouble with colors on DVDs and just about any media in several media players. However, I discovered that my roommate had normal color on his profile. It turned out to be a configuration problem.
Try creating a new user and opening gxine from that account and see if it's normal there. Here's the info about my gxine installation: gxine --help gxine 0.5.901 (0.5.901-1ubuntu2; Debian) usage: gxine [options] [MRLs...] Available video drivers: dxr3 aadxr3 xv XDirectFB DirectFB opengl SyncFB xshm caca aa none xxmc sdl fb xvmc Available audio drivers: pulseaudio alsa oss file none On Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 9:48 PM, Luke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Colors look fine for me in xine -- same quality as on a windoze box it > seems to my eye. > > Thanks, > Luke > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Brandon Pedersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, June 3, 2008 7:31:19 PM > Subject: Re: [uug] byutv and mythtv > > Hmmm...anyone else use gxine?
