HDR videos colors are washed out with BS Player

[Gilles]

Hello,

When I play a video that is "HDR" (usually with 10bit & x265), the colors are always washed out. When I open the same video with VLC, the colors seems fine. But I don't like VLC, I much prefer BS Player (I have my reasons). Check out the differences on the screencaps attached.

I tried the menu "Video=> Color management" but whatever I do, nothing changes...

Anybody knows how to fix this problem?
My screen is not HDR but then why is VLC giving the correct colors (or at least that looks like correct). I don't care the HDR thing, I just want correct colors.

Thanks in advance

Black level bug (greyish black)

Try this and probably one of the settings will provide a more accurate image.
I personally use internal renderer

Hello. I tried all these "options -> preferences -> video -> video rendering" modes but none of them change anything (half of them even make BS Player crash).

Can you post here which codec it's used to decode x265 ?
Open such a file -> rightclick -> options -> filters

Hello. This?

Ok, two things can be changed in there:
1. Output, set to TV or PC, depending on the device you use.
2. Change hardware acceleration to none. This way, decoding the video stream doesn't depend on the video card capabilities / updated drivers.

Anyway, there is no available videocard to be used for hardware decoding.
