Chrome/Video: Calibration not applied unless mouse is over window.

[cegras]

Hello,

I’ve noticed an issue in Chrome, where if I watch a video on Youtube or Twitch, the calibration is not applied until I mouse over the window, which brings up playback controls. I have attached two screenshots: the one that is very brown is the default, uncorrected behaviour, and the more magenta one is the correct, with the playback controls shown.

I do not see this behaviour in the Edge browser.

Hi,

this not calibration related (calibration is global and part of adjustment). What you’re seeing is an effect of video generally not being color managed even in color managed browsers. The pause and preview is just an image which may be color managed, the actual video is not. Edge is effectively not color managed at all, so no change there.

Hello Florian,

I should note that the colour correction is applied even while the video is playing, as long as my mouse is bringing up play controls!

I will also add that on my PC at home, there is no issue. Home is a Radeon RX480, while work is a Thinkpad with intel graphics + GeForce 940MX, in an Optimus configuration. Since I could not adjust the display, I had to tune it (very drastically reducing blue) via Intel’s graphics control panel.
