Video - Internet TV

[bravomar]

Can somebody tell me why my video - Internet TV - is so washed out and barely viewable? If there are controls anywhere for it, I'm damned if I can find them.

Thanks for your time, but I'm guessing this is an easy one and I'm being a numpty!

Could you specify more what is happening?
And what sort of controls are you looking for?
For play/pause/stop/etc. just use the main window buttons.
For video options right-click the video area and select 'Video Options...'
(or in Preferences -> Video)

Is it on all streams?
Can you provide links or a name of the stream where we can find it if it's in the Media Library?

As siebe83 said, please specify more details.

Hey,

Having the same problem, video is washed out. It's not just streams. The same thing occurs for vids stored locally as well. I think my problem started when I updated to v5.093. Tried reverting to an older version, but that didn't fix it.

Sorry, but what do you mean by 'washed out'?


For now, try unchecking this option:
Prefs (Ctrl+P) > Video > 'Allow hardware video overlay'

I think that is not a Winamp problem. I'm sure you have a nVidia card and a driver version above 77.xx installed. There is a bug in these drivers. Try this:

• GeForce 6800/6800GT/6800 Ultra, Windows XP, Windows XP
Professional x64: NVIDIA Overlay gamma controls under Standard
mode do not work properly, resulting in overly dark or overly bright
video.
To work around this issue:
1 From the NVIDIA control panel, click the Color Correction menu tree
item.
2 From the Color Correction page, click the Apply color changes to list
arrow and select All, then click Restore Defaults.
3 Click Apply.
