I use smplayer as GUI, but problem seems to happen when running from console as well, so I think its mpv problem

~/.config/mpv/
is empty

mpv-git have same problem

Have anyone experienced something similar?

Hi!

If you make a screenshot from mpv by pressing 's' do you get different colors as well?

Other than that, it just seems that it is a bit desaturated. Try icreasing the saturation by pressing '8', I know is not a real solution but you might try that as a workaround.

The problem is that video file was recorded by nvidia experience, and that software has known (for 2 years) issue to set wrong color space tags in video file. So, all video players displayed such files with slightly distorted colors, but mpv just make it more visible. I guess they gonna "fix" it.
