Weird color problem with movie players

  • 772

Both the built-in Gnome movie player and vlc both have strange color distortions : human skin color changes to blue; if it was pink it changes to green ; if it was yellow it changes to pink. The weird part is that when I watch clips in the browser the colors are right. Has anyone encountered this?

gnome 10.10 graphics vlc

    I solved this by running gstreamer-properties in the console and I changed the plug-in option under "video" from autodetect to x windows system (no Xv). It seems it was some kind of problem with totem.
