Webcam color issue with mplayer

Question

I try to display (multiple) webcams on a hdmi screen with my Raspberry Pi B.

At first I used (since some month ago) OpenCV solution for 2x C170 Logitech Webcam -> works flawless (5-6fps).

Now I want to upgrade my system to 4 webcams -> OpenCV performance breaks down to 0.5fps.

Therefore I installed a new Raspbian Version + mplayer and excecuted rpi-update / apt-get update + upgrade.

mplayer works fine with 3-4 fps with all 4 Webcams parallel (enough for me).

But the color of the Cam's is total off.

Someone has a solution?

Answer 1

Have you tried adjusting mplayer at all? From man mplayer:

(The following keys are valid only  when  using  a  hardware  accelerated  video  output  (xv,
(x)vidix, (x)mga, etc), the software equalizer (-vf eq or -vf eq2) or hue filter (-vf hue).)

      1 and 2
           Adjust contrast.
      3 and 4
           Adjust brightness.
      5 and 6
           Adjust hue.
      7 and 8
           Adjust saturation.

That's a pretty elaborate man page. Probably daunting at first but if you are doing things with 4 cameras, no doubt worth a read.

From the looks of things the hue and saturation need serious adjustment.
