. So I ran into another snag. After A TON of color calibration there are still problems where certain shades of brown would be displayed as orange, some orange and skin tones would be displayed as red as well as for blonde hair!
I took to the Hypercon forums and when compared to others with similar problems it is not color calibration but that Fuschai based EasyCap that will over-saturate the colors. The STK1160 along with Raspbian has the option to correct this using v4l2-ctrl controls to adjust the chroma and luminance but it can only be done on this chip since the driver for the Fuschai does not support v4l2-crtl. A user already contracted the driver author and he replied he will see when he can do it, when he has time and it it's possible. I could not find an option so far to add this in OpenElec so I don't know if it's possible.
This is just an FYI for anyone struggling to get the right colors and wondering what they are doing wrong. I already ordered an STK1160 and will let you know what my results are once it arrives. The downside? Sometimes it will cause a "Frame too small" error and the LEDs will flash blue from time to time but to me that is better than seeing blonde hair produce red.
Considering some other factors I also wonder if the HMDI to RCA converter could be causing the video colors to be over-saturated as well. Any thoughts?
