From what I saw the new AWB thing is mostly about the rate of change in auto AWB mode in raspivid, when the scene changes rapidly it’s a little more smooth.
If it’s causing problems we can disable it again.
Going back sounds like the way to go here. I never had any issues with the old one.
Maybe some other users could state if they have similar problems or benefit from the new one.
Originally we had to disable the new AWB because the pi engineers completely broke stereopi somehow, they fixed that recently so we turned it back on. Perhaps making it a setting would be the best thing to do but disable it by default while I figure out if it’s really supposed to be doing the redshift thing or not.
The same issue can be seen in standard raspiOS buster.
It seems to be an issue with my aftermarket IR-Filter. The original should work just fine (not tested by me)
Im in contact with some raspi-people and try to find out more
