            Bug ID: 507015

SUMMARY
KRdp serves a grayish video stream. It looks like something you get when
plugging a legacy HDMI monitor into a modern computer, i.e., a video stream
with a limited (16-235) quantization range displayed as full (0-255)
quantization range.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up krdpserver
2. Connect to it with KRDC or Remmina
3. See a grayish video stream

OBSERVED RESULT
The video stream is grayish. Meanwhile, Screen Capture (PipeWire) in OBS Studio
and Sunshine+Moonlight (H264 YUV422) all show correct colors. See attachments
for details.

EXPECTED RESULT
The video stream shouldn't be greyish and should show correct colors.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 13
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've tried building KPipeWire+KRdp 6.4.2, and this issue is still reproducible.
