Ubuntu
totem package

Totem has no color balance

Asked by lcn_mustard

   I just installed ubuntu karmic koala in pc with pcchips A15G ( nvidia Geforce 6150 nForce 430 ) everything is ok except for the totem, the brightness and contrast has no effect.
  In player xine and mplayer it works ok.
   In Ubuntu 8.4
The totem-xine could use the controls brightness-contrast
The totem-gstreamer does not
So I did:
sudo update-alternatives - config totem
and chose totem-xine
and then delete the totem-gstreamer
 in / home / user folder / .config / totem / xine_config changed the parameters for the xine video driver: xshm and worked.

In Karmic nothing that works.
What can I do, because the doc totem sucks.
 Any idea?

I'm positive, the monitor is fine.
This problem started after I installed the
karmic koala (installation by the live-cd). Before, I used the Hardy Heron and
was ok. Everything was working in totem. In hardy I was able to uninstall the

totem-gstreamer and switch to totem-xine, the karmic even following the same
steps it does not. Already removed with apt-get and reinstalled and nothing
changes.!? The gstreamer-properties does not help. Not even know what to do ...

in the gstreamer-properties > Video > default output plugin > custom line:
videobalance hue=-1 ! autovideosink and my video turns to red...

I try videobalance hue=0 saturation=50 contrast=-50 brightness=1500 !

autovideosink
Only shows me hue efects and not exist the colour balance in
Edit->Preferences->Display

This problem only happened in totem and always hapenned in ubuntu
(7.10-8.04-9.10) but i was able to fit it and had compiz and cairo-dock with no error . Now I am using xine player (ugly) but is works.
I really prefer totem and I hope fix to fix it.

Do not install it nothing, nothing removed.
I haven't changed the xorg.
I haven't changed the nvidia x server settings tools.
In gstreamer-properties -> video output-> custom-> pipeline:
tried several commands, which ran:
videobalance hue=-0 saturation=1 brightness=1 ! videoscale ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink

--
videobalance hue=-0 saturation=1 brightness=0.25 ! xvimagesink
--
videobalance hue=-0 saturation=1 brightness=0.25 ! autovideosink
--
The best command was "videobalance hue=-0 saturation=1 brightness=0.25 ! autovideosink"
For the internet I found some tips to "videobalance hue =- 1 ! Autovideosink" or "videobalance hue =- 100 ! Autovideosink" I decided to include the parameters you wanted, saturation and brightness using whole numbers and it worked.

The totem ran all night without problems, videos wmv, flv, avi and mp4 and mp3 with effects.
 We do not understand why removed the totem-xine, which I personally think better and easier to configure. In ubuntu 8.04 xshm used, configured in / home / folder User / .config / totem / totem_config with everything ok. Pitty
This setting doesn't affect the players xine (xshm ) or mplayer, both are still working (saturation and brightness, etc.).

Hope that helps.
