HDR videos colors are washed out with BS Player 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 Last edited by Gilles; 25th May 2021 at 09:26 PM. |

http://forum.bsplayer.com/bug-report...ish-black.html Try this and probably one of the settings will provide a more accurate image. I personally use internal renderer |

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. |

I tried different combinations but no changes :( I wonder why is VLC rendering the correct colors and BSP not. The software "Windows photos" also renders the colors well. That means my computer can render them. Any other ideas? |

Yes, it can. The problem is in the software = applications and filters used to decode the file. VLC uses it's own filters, while BSPlayer relies on LAV filters. LE1: Anyway, on my old PC with a TV as output, 10 bit files looks the same on both VLC and BSPlayer, while MPC-BE image is far better. LE2: Is it possible that BSPlayer forces 10 bit rendering (on a machine that can't render 10 bits) while other players go to 8 bits ? Because the file played by MPC-BE is rendered as: NV12 (8-bit 4:2:0) from an input stated as: Pin: HEVC x265 10bit Video |

It's actually all the videos labeled as "HDR" that have the same problem. Here are the Media infos from this video (sorry, it's French): Vidéo ID : 1 Format : HEVC Format/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding Profil du format : Main 10@L5.1@High HDR_Format/String : SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible Identifiant du codec : V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC Durée : 2 h 1 min Débit : 4 599 kb/s Largeur : 3 840 pixels Hauteur : 2 076 pixels Format à l'écran : 1,85:1 Type d'images/s : Constant Images par seconde : 23,976 (24000/1001) Im/s Espace de couleurs : YUV Sous-échantillonnage de la chrominance : 4:2:0 (Type 2) Profondeur des couleurs : 10 bits Bits/(Pixel*Image) : 0.024 Taille du flux : 3,92 Gio (81%) Default : Oui Forced : Non Gamme de couleurs : Limited Coordonnées de chromaticité : BT.2020 Caractéristiques du transfert : PQ Coefficients de la matrice : BT.2020 non-constant MasteringDisplay_ColorPrimaries : BT.2020 MasteringDisplay_Luminance : min: 0.0001 cd/m2, max: 1000 cd/m2 |

Yes, that was the ideea from the start. But i can't find x264 HDR videos free on the internet to test with another decoder. But I don't give up for now VLC and MPC uses their own decoder when it comes to x265, whilst BSPlayer uses LAV video decoder. If it's easier for you, you can use French with no problem. |

Thank you very much for your efforts. I speak +/- fluent English so it's fine for me. All the HDR videos I have seen so far are always x265 and 10bits. However, I have plenty of x265 and 10bits videos that are not HDR and they work very well. To give you an example of another video that is x265 + 10bits that works fine: Quote:
