<![CDATA[Flickering on Movie mode]]>Hi all...

I'm very happy with F.lux but for some unknown reason to me it started flickering and flashing a lot when I use Movie mode, which I used a lot in the past. I tried of everything, from disable automatic brightness until reset everything.
The strange is, f.lux works perfectly in normal mode, even after flickering in movie mode. The only way to make it work is in normal (or disabled).

Is there any solution for that?

I'm running MAC OS X 10.11.3

Thank you

A.

We've gotta figure this out. That used to be my favorite flux feature, and when I'm just coding on the bus at night it's good on my eyes (and sleep later) and just more respectful to everyone on the bus. I've tried rebooting, uninstall/reinstall, turning auto brightness off and still get the flicker but NEVER when the tray is down o_0

Interesting thing, if I click on the icon of f.lux at the "taskbar" (top right), f.lux menu drops and the flickering stops. when I release the click or click elsewhere, the issue returns.

Thanks for the info.

I noticed that Dark Room, and other effects produce the same flickering... it is basically a "blink" between the chosen effect and the standard f.lux color.

It just changes the colors to slightly warmer (aronud 4500K) but with tweaks for brightness in shadows, and blue shades.

Restarting doesn't work at all.
I Just reinstalled again now and the problem remains. (normal work in normal conditions, but flashes in movie mode)
