[MacOS] Stremio 5 playback colors are muted / washed out

[lothar-cell]

Stremio Platform

MacOS

Describe the bug

Stremio v4 had oversaturated colors, v5 has muted colors.

I'm not an expert, but there should be a protocol in MacOS called ColorSync, which determines correct colors, just try to use that? v4 has ignored it completely and v5 is using it incorrectly?

Playback colors are perfect when using IINA as external player, in-app playback and interface is still washed out.

It's not about HDR - UI, movie posters are washed out too.

To Reproduce

Launch Stremio 4 - UI colors are oversaturated.
Launch Stremio 5 - UI colors are washed out.

Expected behavior

Colors should be accurate, in sync with the system.

Screenshots

In-app:
(colors are muted and image is softer, less well defined)

IINA:
(colors are accurate and image is better defined in IINA without any filters used)

App Version

Not sure if the UI problem still applies, seems alright?

This was fixed

[lothar-cell]

It was not fixed, I'm sorry. Playback colors are still off.

What version are you on? All colours display correctly as expected both HDR and non HDR for me.

ah i see maybe you tried non hdr stream there is a slight difference indeed

[kKaskak]

try hdr stream instead, i will check if i can improve it for non hdr streams as well, there seems to be some sort of difference with color grading
