Hey Guys, I have an issue with colors on XBMC. Here is my setup.
Windows XP machine -> Audio Authoirty 1366 Scaler/Converter -> Sony AVR Receiver -> Panasonic Plasma.
I was noticing very poor coloring on XBMC since switching off of DVI and using component and I thought the Scaler/Converter was the culprit. I was able to sit down and take about an hour to calibrate and everything looks good.......when viewing the desktop..... As soon as I open XBMC my colors go slightly "wonky". Black is no longer black.... it is greenish/grey and the contrast is terrible...... I got out of XBMC and loaded up an mkv to play in VLC and noticed it looked bad too. I then loaded that same MKV in Media player classic and it looks GREAT!
Something is wrong here. I did a side by side with VLC and media player classic and VLC looks like the quality of XBMC but Media player classic looks correct. Black is black and the colors are vibrant.
Can someone help me figure out what is causing XBMC to have such poor coloring.....similar to VLC?
Thanks!
