Kieran Fleming: Changing the VLC setting according to your instruction also worked for me.
Giorgio Stefanoni: Following your gstreamer-properties instructions fixed the general problem.
Thanks to you both for user-friendly guidance.
Tim: I sympathize, but I'm also delighted that just googling the problem ("nvidia ubuntu hue slider") landed me here and got me the advice I needed--and within my non-techie ability to cope.
