I'm coming from a Prime, just returned for the infinity. When I play videos on HBO GO or Netflix, the screens brightness drops automatically from where it was set when browsing. I can raise it when the video is playing but the Prime didn't do this. It only drops a few levels in brightness from where it was set while browsing, for instance if browsing at 100% in only seems to drop to 85% when watching video. Is this normal? I've noticed the most difference when the brightness is set at 0%. I'll watch netflix then press the home button, the screen stays at video brightness (darker) for a second then restores back to the original setting.

Is there a way to control the 3D brightness while watching 3D video?
It seems that it locks it at around 50% brightness.
Brightness of 3D video is set to 100% automatically, but cause parallax barrier is working that seems like 50%
Hi. I have a question.
I have been recording my android screen when playing games for videos and because my tablet has 1280x800 resolution and has that nav. bar on the bottom, my videos have black bars on the side (in 720p).
But I just noticed something, for some reason when recording some sort of movie, it records in full screen even though that nav. bar is still on the bottom of the screen.
For example look here at 4:25 minutes:
youtube.com/watch?v=PLb860iD3g0
It was recorded just like the rest of my content but that movie in the game recorded in full screen even though the nav. bar was on the bottom on my tablet screen and the actual game recorded the same way with the black bars on the side. Why did the movie record in fullscreen like that and how can I get the game to record in full screen like that?
Thanks.
I would love to have a screen saver or a soft sleep on video pause. Obviously there isn't going to be much demand for this feature but it would be nice as a option in settings
I currently use mx player while working out and would love to be able to pause the device remotely and not have to disconnect or power off the monitor.
I would like to see this, KODI dims the screen, With so many Android TV Boxes connected to plasma and oled televisions that can be damaged if the image is left static for to long, dimming the screen will lessen the affect.

I've been a long time user of MX Player, and generally, I've been really happy with it. I love the swipe features including adjusting system brightness, volume, and time seeking. However, I'm finding that when watching videos in my car during my lunch break, many videos are extremely dark, even when I have the screen brightness maxed.I'm looking for a player that can increase the brightness of the video.Can I Do
Does OnePlus 6 also support HDR? I know it's not officially stated but YouTube supports HDR on OnePlus 6. I downloaded a few of the demos and tried playing them in VLC. Upon opening, VLC directed me to "allow modifying system settings" to change screen brightness, I'm assuming it was trying to set it to Max. I enabled it and the video is now playing at full brightness in VLC. I was using DCI-P3 color profile. However, after trying to play the video again the brightness is not set to Max. I tried reinstalling VLC and playing the video again, this time I didn't get the prompt to enable system modifications as it was off by default for new apps. So now the video on playing in VLC doesn't set the brightness to Max. Tried giving permission to modify system settings, still not setting brightness to max. I'm assuming upon brightness going all the way, HDR is triggered, as I don't have any other visual indicator in VLC to see if HDR is truly ON.
YouTube HDR works great everytime, high contrast and brightness set to Max automatically.
I don't know if the display of OnePlus 6 is 10bit but that's highly unlikely.
Tried restarting, reinstalling VLC and changing color profiles to DCI-P3. Auto brightness is off, some users reported on other devices it affected HDR auto brightness so I kept it off. Nothing puts brightness to Max upon opening videos in VLC.
I'm on latest OOS 9.0 Stable OTA. I am using 4k HDR demos from 4kmedia.org and I have 4k HDR movie on my device.
Does anyone have working HDR videos on VLC? How did you get it to work and how do you know that it truly is displaying in HDR?
I don't know if any other video player which can display HDR videos as intended on Android. If you know any other video player which works for OnePlus 6 to display HDR then please let me know (and drop a link of possible).
Since I did get the prompt for the first time upon opening HDR video on VLC to allow VLC to set max brightness, I believe that the device just might do it but I'm held back by some software bug.
Sorry for the long post! Just wanted to make sure I covered everything.
