[Flowplayer] Color saturation

[Klagar]

Hi !

I am experiencing a weird phenomena with some videos. They all seem to get extra-saturated when I play them with Flowplayer. I tried it with Mp4's and Avi's and it yielded the same results. I also ran it on different browsers, on both PC and Mac, and still the Flow version is noticeably different from the source.

So I was wondering if anyone was experiencing the same issue, and whether anything could be done to help it, or even just a clue or link towards some pertinent tutorial ?

I'll continue my research while waiting for an answer. I'll update the post if I find anything.

Thanks a lot !

Did you try flowplayer forums ?

What kind of videos? Be more specific than "mp4 and avi" which can mean about a 100 different things . AVI shouldn't be able to stream in flowplayer in the first place - it's not a streaming format

What differentiates "some" videos , but not others?

I am experiencing a weird phenomena with some videos. They all seem to get extra-saturated when I play them with Flowplayer.

I've just viewed the videos on this page with Firefox (4.0b7 - linux):
http://flowplayer.org/demos/installation/multiple-players.html
and also downloaded and viewed them with mplayer, vlc and ffplay - and can't see any differences.

Here's the links to the videos:

Do you see any differences with those examples?

I thought it might be a similar issue to this:

but you say you've got the same problem with Windows and MacOS, which would rule that out.

I wonder how you are judging the "source". If it's through a PC media player, then a dozen other factors come into play, like decoder, renderer, graphics card settings etc...

If you've compared the same video through flowplayer vs. another flash front end like jwplayer, and they look different between those two - then there is an issue.

Flash on the same platform is very consistent compared to PC Media players which have multiple configurations. Even Flash between OS's is a lot more consistent (there are slight differences)

Call the Macromedia player instead and see what happens.
