It could also be that XVideo picture controls are enabled and the hue
is set incorrectly. If hitting "F" in playback and adjusting the hue
fixes the problem run "mythfrontend -v playback" play a video and then
submit a ticket with the log attached and describe the problem,
including what you must adjust the hue to before the picture looks ok.
