Fullscreen youtube colour artefacting.

2012 13" Retina MBP macOS 10.12.4 flux 37.7, no artifacts in full-screen iTunes (did have artifacts prior to 10.2.4 update).

@innerbat Thanks for letting us know!

I still get artefacting in youtube in safari. I only use safari so I can't say anything about other browsers.

Quicktime and VLC work just fine. Its only Youtube. When I move my mouse it stops artefacting as well. Just when I hold the mouse still for some time it starts showing up......

Using the latest version of f.lux and OSX on the 13" Macbook with toucbar.

@mrmcmo Which version of the Mac OS?

Hi,

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,
Chris

macOS Sierra v10.12.3

@lorna I am using the latest version all the time. At the current time its 10.12.4 (16E195).
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.

My machine still had this bug in macOS 10.12.3, with Chrome and Safari, but no longer has the bug with macOS 10.12.4. 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.

I'm having this problem too, I have a MacBook Pro Retina and I'm running Sierra 10.12.3 and Flux 37.7. 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.

This issue is fixed in the latest 10.12.4 MacOS update.

hi guys, found a lil workaround on this. Not ideal, but works.

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'm having issues with full screen Youtube in Chrome 57.0.2987.133, at least when videos are embedded on other sites. 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.

@AlixSPQR Which browser / app are you still having problems with? Can you post back with your OS version?

@lorna As I wrote, ”Chrome 57.0.2987.133” and ”10.12.4”, the latter obviously being macOS Sierra, and Night Shift is only available in this version.

lorna

@AlixSPQR Thanks. 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....)

@lorna No issues with Night Shift/Chrome/Safari with the same embedded video.

lorna

@AlixSPQR got it - thanks.

@lorna Your'e welcome. BTW: This is on a Mac mini Late 2012 (Macmini6,2), with Intel HD 4000 graphics.

I'm having the exact same problem, and I've had it many months.

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..
