All video in black and white - Utterstrom - 2008-03-22

Heya!

lovin the new xbmc, have really tried it out that much yet since i cant get video to work properly, its just black and white.

Ive checked so my graphic drivers are the latest ones.
My graphic card is Nvidia Geforce 6600.

My graphic card ofc works just fine exept in xbmc.

If your using the Win32 DX version (the one xbmc Build.bat compiles.), it's black and white because it's broken, and no one will fix that currently as it's intended to be for us skinners. Use the SDL/OpenGL one. A link is posted (IE- Build 12185) which works ok, or else build your own for an even more current daily version.

Yeah that's the on im using...

Thnx I'll DL that one instead Wink

Yeah, that one works! Wink Thnx! Just one prob, the icons, are all pixels Wink They look like something från Zelda för NES =)

Any fix for that ?

I'll try on my own a bit, but if anyone got any tips for me, plz let me know.

I've got the same problem in DirectX (I assume, the latest t3ch build) and SDL (rev12185) where it splits the video into 1/4. But what's weird is that it generates the thumbs just fine.

I have the same vid card and had the same problem. My solution.. go to ati website and download the oldest radeon drivers you can find.. ver 6.something.. expand the driver and pull out the atioglxx.dll and atioglx2.dll files, put them in your main xbmc folder.. Can't promise it will work for you, but it did for me.. video plays fine for me now.
