Video colors are degraded when using this library about pot HOT 5 CLOSED

can someone confirm that this still fixes the low color depth issues http://thebugfreeblog.blogspot.ro/2012/11/32-bit-color-depth-qt-on-raspberry-pi.html?showComment=1428446883898#c3127471068375151835 ?

also note that QT completely ignores QT_QPA_EGLFS_DEPTH variable

You have to set it manually using QSurfaceFormat on your main.cpp. You could something like this:

QSurfaceFormat curSurface = viewer.format();
curSurface.setRedBufferSize(8);
curSurface.setGreenBufferSize(8);
curSurface.setBlueBufferSize(8);
curSurface.setAlphaBufferSize(8);
viewer.setFormat(curSurface);

I think this issue can be closed since it's not related with the fork.

Ah yes, that is probably the best way to set color depth. Thank you @Atr0N!
Related to the EGL setup however. I'll set the depth of the POC player to 24 bits for reference.

yes this solves it! it increases CPU usage with about 5% (on a 720p video). Thank you!
