Fullscreen youtube colour artefacting.
-
I'm experiencing this on Netflix also. OSX 10.11.6. I wonder why it's taking the flux team so long to fix this?
-
@mixolyd I'm assuming they don't see the point in patching until OS Sierra gets its public launch. It is getting ridiculous though. Very annoying
-
To everyone: Apple keeps managing color settings and modifying how something as simple as auto brightness adjusts BRIGHTNESS and starts having it also adjust gamma.
F.lux uses gamma ramps so that's one part of it. Now Mac OS Sierra reads color profiles differently.
It's almost as if apple is doing the most annoying shit possible to stop the f.lux team... because they want their own version.
Night Shift for Mac OS will happen. That's Apple for you.
-
@Tungsten_smooth Thanks for letting us know!
-
@Tungsten_smooth well, that sucks because Night Shift doesn't actually take blue all the way out. I find it unuseable on my iPhone without an attachable blue light filter.
-
@thedouglas How do you know?
-
I discovered a workaround. just download this menu-bar app:
And set your graphics card to the discrete one when you are doing things in fullscreen - it uses a little more battery, but fixes the artefacting.
-
@Plasma_000 yes that will sometimes help but maybe not for everyone. There is already iOS night shift and they basically told them f.lux team to stop--haven't heard anything else about it after that. Just my 2 cents.
-
@thedouglas I don't think you're right about that. Night Shift works the same way as f.lux. It intercepts colors before they're displayed and removes a certain amount of the blue light from it. Neither app is a simple filter, there are algorithms that determine how much blue to remove from each pixel. If you want Night Shift to take out more blue light, turn its intensity up.
-
@evansimk Yes it works but the default is HORRIBLE and many people will just leave it on default or not use it because it doesn't look right and the settings say nothing about the lighting environment.
Apple doesn't care and the interface is lazy.
-
@evansimk Night Shift is an extremely gentle copy of a version of f.lux from 2008. It does not remove as much blue light and the default just doesn't do much to help sleep.

@lorna Is there still no solution to this issue?
-
seems to now be happening with chrome as well.
-
Registered here just because of this phenomenon. It happens to me in Safari and Chrome (haven't tried any other browser). I love flux and would love to be able to use it again.
-
Also registered here to bump up the thread. It's a really annoying issue and needs to be solved ASAP. Or at least give us one straight answer: Are you going to fix this or not? Is anyone working on it or not?
-
Registered just to confirm this.
I've never thought it would be from f.lux ! it used to be working just fine untill last week for me.
anyways. hoping to get this fixed. amma disable the shit out of it...can't afford those blue lights anymore ! -
I noticed this happening when watching YouTube fullscreen earlier this week. It just occurred again and it caught on to me that it only glitched when f.lux was in effect. Googling around led me here.
I only registered and am posting since I just wanted to confirm that the issue is happening and bump this situation up. This is on Chrome 50 for Mac (on MacBook Pro 15" w/ Retina Display Mid-2014 running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6). If I recall correctly; I also updated f.lux recently, so maybe that could be the issue? I don't watch YouTube videos in fullscreen often so it would have flew past me.
-
registered just to bump this thread. I have a macbook pro from 2012 running os x el capitan and youtube has been bugging out quite a bit. Are you guys going to get on this at all?
-
Bumping as well, experienced this issue just moments ago for the first time, after having used Flux for years.
OS:
OSX El Capitan, 10.11.6
Graphics: Intel Iris Pro 1536 MBBrowser:
Google Chrome
Version 53.0.2785.116 (64-bit)Strangely, mouse events seem to temporarily mitigate the artifacting, but I assume this is also hardware related.
On another note, your Facebook registration (and probably login) is broken, because your Facebook app is still in development mode.
-
started happening to me with chrome 53 I think. It is not happening in Safari 10.0, shipped with macos Sierra.. which is the only workaround.
it may be pita to debug this one, seems like a video driver issue. I suggest contacting chrome devs, they will have someone with the skills to debug/investigate even though this is probably not their fault as well.
