Is there a way to disable the adaptive brightness on Android TV (I use Sony Bravia)? When I watch a movie, MX Player changes the brightness automatically - e.g. on dark scenes. This doesn't happen with VLC or built-in Sony player. Auto brightness is disabled in TV settings.
I found that it happens because of subtitles. Screen becomes brighter when subtitles appear and more dark when subtitles disappear.
Now I'm curious.
Settings > Player > Screen > Brightness
Is this checkbox enabled or disabled right now?

MX Player on Android TV doesn't have "Brightness" setting in "Screen" section.

Okay, @bleu8888 will have to look at this then, if he's specifically treating TVs differently.
Tools > Settings > Player > Controls
Then change Volume control for "up/down" gesture to Brightness.

Hi,
In the Player Settings, I have Background Play enabled. I watch a video in portrait orientation and turn the screen off, so I can continue listening to the audio. When I turn it back on, the video aspect ratio is set to Stretch (filling the whole screen), making the image very distorted. I have to tap the lower right button until the video is set to Fit To Screen again. Given that I do this routine several times a day, it make it very annoying.
I have a Galaxy S2 with Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
Model number: GT-I9100M
In the Decoder section I have:
Use H/W+ decoded: unchecked
H/W+ decoder (local): is grayed out, but checked
Correct Aspect Ratio: checked
H/W audio track selectable: unchecked
Is this a know issue, and if so, is there plans to correct it? Please let me know if you need any additional info.
Best regards,

@bleu8888
Can you look at the problem?
I can reproduce the problem.

Actually I encountered same issue years ago with my first Android device - Galaxy S.
I tried many ways to fix it up but unfortunately cannot.
It looks like issue of early Galaxy devices.
I encountered this issue too with my andriod TV and even worse. MX can not play vedio without Background Play enabled in my andriod TV.So I must enable this option to play video. But the video aspect ratio is Stretched.
I press the right buttom corner button but no one brings proper ratio. When chose Fit To Screen the video play as 4:3 with letterbox surrounded.
Ever since the latest update, whenever I watch a movie I have ripped from a DVD as soon as it gets to chapter two the text "chapter 2" appears on the bottom and stays there for the rest of the movie with the number advancing with each chapter. I can't find a way to turn it off.

MX Player does not recognize chapter information yet.
This might be a kind of subtitle.
There is a speech balloon button on the upper right corner of the playback screen. Click it and uncheck subtitle track. Also you can enforce subtitles not to be displayed on the startup by unchecking Settings > Subtitle > Enable subtitles or Enable embedded subtitles.

That was it. Thanks. I didn't think of that because I didn't realize it was a subtitle.
I don't see any setting which allows me to have the display turn off after some seconds when I listen to audio. IF there is a way to do this could someone explain how? Thanks
You can set Play Audio in the background, that way you can turn the display off mannually.

Thanks but not really answering my question. I'm looking for an automatic screen time time out setting.
No such option currently exists... the background play option is kinda the only way to do it.
Also, make sure that this is disabled: settings > player > screen > keep screen on
When I play video the brightness is not controlled through player... Plz help
Go to Player > settings > touch control > select brightness.
Enjoy
I went into the VLC settings and enabled background playing, but every time I turn off the screen it still shuts off. I also disabled battery optimization.
Any solution?
With VLC after you select the appropriate setting, which you said you have, you have to minimize VLC first and then turn the screen off. That will work. I just tested.
Or just use MX Player. Go to settings, turn on the appropriate setting and you can turn the screen off and still listen to the sound of the video.
Just tested both right now, and both worked as discribed.
Is there way to do this with Picture In Picture mode as default? Is this a problem with VLC or with Android?
I can't get it to work with screen off if I chose PIP on VLC settings, but it works like I said in my previous post if you chose run in the background.
I'm note sure if the terms I'm using are correct. My VLC is not in English, so I'm translating.
