Hello I’m using a Macbook Air M1, latest PLEX HTPC. I’m finding that the MPV player included in the PLEX does not understand or use the OS system wide ICC colour-profiles. Example when using the default ICC profile on MacOS “Colour LCD”.
In contrast when viewing the files on any other players that do understand the profiles, the picture looks as it should (Quicktime, Infuse, etc). With Plex it’s over saturated. Only way to match the colours is to force MacOS to use the MacOS in build “sRGB” profile. But then the desktop is over saturated. So it seems the Plex is defaulting to the sRGB internally?
I read some advanced MPV.conf documents, showing, there are some ICC-parameters to make it use the default OS colour profile, but thats a “extra” feature needed to be compiled to the MPV in use it seems.
My request and enquiry is: Does the PLEX HTPC use new enough MPV that has that feature compiled in? If not, why not and when would it be possible?
I’m referring to this settings on MPV document:
"–icc-profile-auto
Automatically select the ICC display profile currently specified by the display settings of the operating system.
NOTE: On Windows, the default profile must be an ICC profile. WCS profiles are not supported.
Applications using libmpv with the render API need to provide the ICC profile via MPV_RENDER_PARAM_ICC_PROFILE."
Thanks !
