Hi
Is there any way to get HW acceleration for playback of x265 video files on MX Player on stock Marshmallow. It is only working in SW mode for me and resulting in choppy playback.
HW mode seems to be working on CM13 and the playback is really smooth.
Can anyone tell me why this is ?
Thanks in advance.
Can someone explain to me about SDR to HDR upconvert in this phone? I want to know whether all SDR contents I'm viewing on YouTube, built-in media apps, and Netflix will be converted to HDR as I play them or that's not how it works.
Has anyone noticed hdr is gone from the netflix app after updated to android pie? I can see youtube in hdr and it has level 1, but netflix says it can only show hd version of hdr movies, my tv displays the same movies in hdr
any clues on how to fix it?
Is there any way to play HDR10 video files with proper HDR colors? HDR works fine in YouTube, but neither the stock player nor VLC or Kodi manage to play the video file properly; washed-out greyish colors are the result. The file is a standard 4k HEVC HDR10 24fps video, and plays fine besides missing HDR. Since the phone itself supports HDR10, I really wonder why it won't work. Is it a software-side artificial limitation to Netflix and YouTube (where HDR works just fine), or is there any technical reason behind this? And would there be any custom ROMs with proper HDR playback support?
Try mxplayer, has better support for hdr metadata than stock &Vlc

Any solution to this....?
i dont have proper information regarding the question asked.. but i felt to share my experience too..
i have VLC , MX player, KM player .. i tried playing Batman begins(2k) movie..
then VLC changed colours drastically by boosting saturation and gamma levels..
KMplayer played it in good colours, i found that something relating to SW/HW enforcing or acceleration has to do with it..
then finally i tried to disable all enhancements in VLC and tried.. then video became choppy..
it couldn't play the video at all.. same as my Laptop ( i3,8th gen - default HDgraphics) plays 4k video in choppy manner
then i thought: they are not only playing video, but converting the video while playing it.. because i can observe loss in detailing of picture ( my laptop with 1080p screen has more detailing than, phone 1080p screen)
as continuation to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ocal-players-also-like-mx-player-etc.4286331/ . I too experience oversharpened video playback at youtube or even MX Player, so is there any way to play with MiraVision render setting? I tried disabling HW overlay but the result is I can't play the video in 60fps
