<![CDATA[Fullscreen youtube colour artefacting.]]>Hi there.

I'm having an issue with bright colours in youtube videos seeming to max out in brightness and pixelate. This only occurs when flux is activated and youtube is in fullscreen. When I move my mouse and the top and bottom bars are visible, the problem goes away, and then immediately returns when they hide (also why I can't screenshot the problem).

I'm not sure if this is a flux, youtube, safari or graphics issues, but I thought I'd post here first. Let me know if there are any other details you need, or if anyone else is having this problem.

Cheers

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
OS 10.10.5
Safari 8.0.8
f.lux 34.3

With chrome or opera, install the extension h264ify. This works for me to end the flickering. Not sure about Firefox. I had to register just for this post because it's so sad to see you guys flounder without a real solution.
Best,

This GitHub safari extension helped me a lot and solved this problem
https://github.com/clundie/VideoFixer
Since Safari in macOS Mojave does not accept .safariextz file you will have to install in the manual way (the last part of this guide https://georgegarside.com/blog/macos/install-any-safari-extension-macos-mojave/) - use the folder .safariextension and install it.

I have exact same problem and just like the previous reply I also have NEVER USED f.lux, don't have it installed on my macbook and never had. Has anyone figured out a fix for this issue??
I'm running High Sierra 10.13.5, Safari 11.1.1, and Intel HD Graphics 4000, and I have had this problem since El Capitan.
Thank you all in advance,

So I have exact same problem like everybody else here, except I NEVER USED f.lux and I don't have it installed on my macbook and never had. However I have adjusted my color temperature to 8000K, I believe the default color scheme (Color LCD) uses 6500K colour temperature. I'm pretty sure this problem is caused by Intel graphics driver, because if you go to the Chrome settings and disable "hardware acceleration" the issue is gone. Not sure if there is a way to disable hardware acceleration for safari...
Im on El Capitan 10.11.6. Firefox works fine with no problems.

It's happening to me as well but I have a macbook pro mid 2012. Intel HD 4000
I do not understand what the problem is, even on the FixThePhoto site, where professional retouchers process your photo, the image is not complete

I assumed it was a graphics card issue actually until I googled and found users using f.lux having the same issue.

I'm using:
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11.6 with Chrome Version 61.0.3163.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)

and experience it when I fullscreen any video on any website! :o

Hoping it gets resolved somehow! :)

Happens only fullscreen once my mouse fades away, and once I jiggle the mouse the blown out artifacts disappear... until my mouse fades out again. No issue with Chrome, just Safari. you can check at https://forum.justgetflux.com/topic/58/strange-colors-blue-fringed-mouse-pointer-on-full-screen-youtube-when-f-lux-is-active/3

This happens with youtube, hulu, netflix, etc. Basically anything that can plays a video has this problem.

OS X El Capitan
Version 10.11.6

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13 inches, mid 2014)
Processor 2,8 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB

YouTube fullscreen in Chrome 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit) is when it occurs.

Hope this can be fixed! Looks like it's been an issue for ~2 years..

Is the problem you're encountering not happening on Chrome with Night Shift? Does it happen in Safari? (Sorry for redundant question, that's what I get for trying to write on my phone....)

For example, this one. I use f.lux also for daytime settings, 5000. I'm running f.lux 39.95.
So, for the time being, I will try Night Shift, as I have 10.12.4.

Put captions on, make text and background black, and in settings put everything regarding the captions to the lowest opacity. That way it doesn't bother me that much and it fixes the problem until daylight rises at least.

I'm on chrome btw

I notice that the problem goes away when I'm browsing incognito. I tried disabling all my chrome extensions, but the problem still happens when I'm outside incognito.

It's a late 2016 MacBook Pro with 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports. So, anyone who upgrades their OS, might want to disable my Chrome extension and see if you don't need it anymore.

It does not happen all time. Seems to be somewhat random as to when it happens. I was trying to see if it happening today but I was unable to make it appear again.

Is there still no fix for this?

I get this (also in Google Chrome v56 and Safari 10) on full screen video, once the cursor, title and seeker disappear.

Thanks,
