Enabling Hardware accelaration in stremio causing washed out Image

your video levels are incorrect: 16-235 instead of 0-255. you aren't getting true blacks and whites

[u/Fun_Confidence_462 → u/Playful_Roof9931]

Solution?

[u/Playful_Roof9931 → u/Fun_Confidence_462]

idk, look at your graphics control panel and google where levels settings are located

[u/Theteruyt → u/Fun_Confidence_462]

On my AMD control panel it's under Gaming (for some reason)/Display/Color depth\Pixel format/RGB Standard(Full RGB). It was set to RGB Limited and videos looked washed out.

[u/naufalap → u/Theteruyt]

IIRC the default for AMD graphics cards driver was YCbCr, dunno why

[u/Fun_Confidence_462 → u/Theteruyt]

I can't find it, can you share SS?

If you're using an nVidia GPU, open the nVidia control panal and do this: https://imgur.com/a/EGDvHuo

I have a nvidia GPU laptop.. Gigabyte Aero 5 xe4...it's has Rtx 3070 ti GPU. But it's display runs on the igpu ( Intel i7 12700h chip and the built in Intel GPU) I don't find the settings that you have on your nvidia control panel

[u/Troughbomber → u/Xenomorrp]

There should be settings in either the nvidia control panel or nvidia app that can control which hardware is used for graphics on a per application basis. I’ll look later when I get home if you aren’t able to find it.

[u/hani_yassine → u/RawbGun]

it's actually nvidia control panel > adjust video color settings > use nvidia settings then go to advanced and put the dynamic range to full(0-255)

[u/swisstraeng → u/Fun_Confidence_462]

Did you try to mess with the HDR settings?

[u/Think_Finance6667 → u/Fun_Confidence_462]

Use external player

[u/cosmitz → u/Playful_Roof9931]

Only in 8 bit RGB mode. YUV is always 16-235.

[u/Playful_Roof9931 → u/cosmitz]

yes, but we are using 8bit rgb representation in web content or videos (ofc, you can have 10bit display or 10bit footage, but my point stands)

[u/Vodkapencil]

Posting it on Stremio sub would be more helpful.

[u/Fun_Confidence_462 → u/Vodkapencil]

I did and thought to post here also because it's one of the biggest community

[u/Fun_Confidence_462]

Problem solved- Just changed the color profile to cinema classic in amd radeon software. Thank you everyone for your time

[u/xSnakyy → u/Fun_Confidence_462]

That might change other things. If there is a manual option use that and change the settings yourself

[u/I_own_a_dick]

Yes it happens because hardware acceleration often reduce color depths in order to boost performance and save memory. Since this is a directly play back it's not like you can tweak some ffmpeg parameters to make it work so I guess you just have to live with it.

[u/BeastBoiii2000]

Offtopic. Isnt she that goddamn actor that played the absolutely hateable protagonist of one of the biggest flop of 2024, "Unknown 9: Awakening"?

[u/Xenomorrp]

Same thing is happening on my windows 11 laptop..if I enable hardware acceleration on my browser all my videos have a slight white wash filter on top..if I disable hardware acceleration this filter fades always but the performance of the browser degrades..lag and stutter become much more...

[u/Fun_Confidence_462 → u/Xenomorrp]

Use standalone stremio(4.4 version) and turnoff HA if you don't play 4k then you pretty much fine. Web one is worse

[u/amir_s89 → u/Fun_Confidence_462]

Will try this.

[u/boogatehPotato]

Totally off topic and saying this from a place of genuine care, don't waste your time watching what Netflix shat out as "The Witcher" pirate the games and books and have a greater time.

[u/fine93 → u/boogatehPotato]

the whole trilogy is mega cheap on steam through

[u/boogatehPotato → u/fine93]

True, and also on GOG I believe, which has slightly better consumer friendly practices. But I don't know OP's sitch so...

[u/Nalivai → u/boogatehPotato]

If you don't go into it expecting the adaptation of the games (or books), the series are actually pretty cool.

[u/Vodkapencil → u/Nalivai]

Yeah if you put away the source material and think of the series completely separate, it's pretty decent, at least the first season. The second one was kinda meh tbh.

[u/boogatehPotato → u/Nalivai]

Personally disagree for a plethora of reasons. It becomes generic fantasy show with no sense of world-building, and the writing falls off after S02 E01

[u/Rengoku_demon_slayer → u/boogatehPotato]

Yeah, i only played TW3 and the DLCs, but man, that was easily the best thing i ever played in my entire life. It was an emotional journey!

[u/RichStatistician1171]

does it happen on youtube on brave aswell?

[u/yJz3X]

You have configured your encoder to do 16-255 colors.

In driver enable full color range under color section.

[u/Fun_Confidence_462 → u/yJz3X]

I'm using amd integrated GPU and I'm unable to find these settings

[u/yJz3X → u/Fun_Confidence_462]

Intel or AMD?

[u/Ok_Hedgehog6502]

what show is this

[u/hi71460 → u/Ok_Hedgehog6502]

witcher

[u/Ok_Hedgehog6502 → u/hi71460]

ah I knew it looked familiar too bad the show sh*t the bed after season 2

[u/orouxinol]

If you have NVIDIA card, change THIS setting to FULL

[u/LitCast]

this is the reason i modified stremio's server.js to enable playing through mpv

[u/MadduxK]

I'm curious on what you can do with stremio?? Can you stream from office to living room? Or is it just another platform to watch online movies? Is it a pay to play? Anyone have knowledge please let me know,and thanks

[u/Fun_Confidence_462 → u/MadduxK]

Stremio is a platform where you can watch movies of high qualities including 4k HDR it runs with the help of torrents

[u/MadduxK → u/Fun_Confidence_462]

Ok was looking for something that I could stream from my pc to TV wi-fi wise. Thanks for the info

[u/WarrioR_0001]

Can anyone tell how do I know if stremio is using my igpu or my dgpu?

[u/every_body_hates_me]

It just discourages you from watching shitty series like The Witcher.

[u/Akaibukai → u/every_body_hates_me]

• Hmmm

Username checks out

[u/OrickJagstone]

End point. Don't watch The Witcher, it's garbage

[u/z6giselle]

the true Witcher show experience on the right

[u/Pankaj135]

Which Cpu?

[u/Fun_Confidence_462 → u/Pankaj135]

Ryzen 4800H

[u/Pankaj135 → u/Fun_Confidence_462]

Laptop? With integrated and Dedicated graphics both?

Try updating Graphic drivers of both.

[u/Fun_Confidence_462 → u/Pankaj135]

Laptop? With integrated and Dedicated graphics both?

Yes

And both of the graphics are updated to the latest version, Idk it's the problem with stremio from very early

[u/Xenomorrp → u/Fun_Confidence_462]

Are you also on windows 11?

[u/Fun_Confidence_462 → u/Xenomorrp]

windows 10

[u/Strong_Berry1768 → u/[deleted]]

still have time to delete this

[u/Pankaj135 → u/Strong_Berry1768]

Man I was talking on HW compatibility standpoint.

NVM I deleted. I'm already now definitely shadow banned in this subreddit.

[u/Aditya_Kalyanathaya]

Stop enabling Hardware Acceleration.

[u/Fun_Confidence_462 → u/Aditya_Kalyanathaya]

then it makes more load on CPU and stremio starts lagging for some reason

[u/platypus_plumba → u/Aditya_Kalyanathaya]

Trophy for least helpful answer: 🏆.

[u/microamps]

Almost thought that OP was posting a meme

[u/Garuda4321 → u/microamps]

Holy crap your pfp just took me for a loop. I haven’t seen that fellow in over a decade!

[u/Tall_Leopard_461 → u/Garuda4321]

I remember playing it on my dsi. Miss it.

[u/Savage_Gamer_3056]

interesting
