Hdmi play with screen off - MX Player

I got a tablet 4.1.2 and I play a movie via hdmi out. I would like the screen of my tablet to be turned off during the play.

I'm aware that there is a an root-requiring app that can do that, but I don't like to root my tablet. So, please make an option for mx player to turn screen off during hdmi output or dim the screen to minimum brightness.
Is there any other player that can do it?

System settings -> Controller -> LED brightness (under nvidia button)
Edit: Unless you mean backlight when outputting HDMI, I'm curious to know if that's possible myself

You should be able to disable the display with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nkahoang.screenstandby
It does require root though.

App to automatically switch screen modes?

I like keeping my phone on Adaptive Display most of the time but prefer to watch videos in the Amoled Photo screen mode. Does anyone know if an app like tasker will allow you to set up a rule so that when you open a video app like MX Player, the phone will automatically switch to Amoled Photo mode, then when you exit out, it will revert back to Adaptive Display? If so, can you show me how? I don't mind paying for the app but I'd like to know if its possible before I do. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Why the screen is dimmer without being touched?

I have an mx player pro, while watched a video I am setting up the brightness to 100%. After 15-20 seconds the screen automatically dimmer without being touched.
Please help me, is it the app bug or my android bug? Please provide the solution. I want to watch videos comfortably with constant brightness.

Already did (ignore battery optimization and manual launch)... When I'm not casting it's ok. When I cast to my tv it stops when the phone goes deep sleep...

Most so called Smart TVs have a timer option to turn off after a set minutes or hours.
