HdR on Netflix and Youtube not working? - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

Hello there.
It seems that HDR is not working in YouTube or Netflix although i get the HDR logo in Quality settings (YouTube) or next to the movie duration (Netflix).
The brightnes does not seem to change like it should even though the slider is on maximum and the image does not 'pop' for example in bright scenes.
I have a Xiaomi Mi8 to compare it to and side by side there is a huge difference and the Mi9T pro should have a slightly better panel. It just does not look like HDR mode is enabled on the panel itself.
I have noticed the same thing on 3 other devices like mine.
I am on MIUI Global 10.3.4.0 on Android 9.
Has anyone else noticed that or is it just me?

I have noticed the same things and maybe there is something wrong here as I have seen in other phones that reading mode does get disabled.

According to the early reviews on YouTube, there's no option to hide the notch in MIUI, so I doubt you'd be able to in YouTube, I could be wrong though
can we remap assistant button on Chinese version to Google assistant?
wondering does most ppl prefer to crop youtube or any video just for fullscreen experience?
own 18.5:9 phone but most youtube video still 16:9 or new 18:9 (rare).
mi9 already have 19.5:9 screen, i will never crop to make top and bottom video gone just for full screen experience
In the GSM Arena review they play a game, and at either side I don't see a notch. It's really odd, because it doesn't look like there is, say, a black border around the notch either.
I will be interested to see for myself when my phone arrives

Is HDR10+ working for you?

Hello everyone,
I am in Xiaomi.eu and when I try to play an HDR10 video in youtube the screen blacks out and only sound plays. The touch screen is responsive so if you know the taps you can close the video and the screen will work again but I really want to see the difference in HDR content. Is it a Xiaomi.eu problem, or a general bug? Thank you in advance.
SOLVED: I do not know if this is a problem with the original MIUI but if the Contrast & Colors is set to Automatic contrast HDR works. I used standard contrast and that was the source of the problem .
When looking at a video on Youtube, HDR "visibly kicks in" (screen changes color temperature) and is visible in Youtube Quality settings.
The problem might come from the Xiaomi.eu rom or a setting.
BTW, you should assume, when using a custom rom, that it's always the origin of the problem, and ask your question in another way, like "Anyone on custom rom has hdr working" instead of thinking that it must be a Youtube bug lol

S10 Won't recognize HDR video files while playing them

Hey!
I recently downloaded a few mkv HDR files to the phone, but when playing the files, it didn't activate the HDR feature (washed out colors and bad contrasts) in VLC or the native Samsung video app. How come and how can I watch HDR content? (It does work on YouTube HDR videos...)
Thanks!
HDR content is HIT AND MISS. Some will look fine after adjusting the brightness and contrast, some devices require Auto Brightness and Iris to be turned off. and sometimes a codec can fix the problem....
Have you tried using KODI and adjusting the hardware and software codec settings?
But honestly, HDR on a 6 inch screen isn't doing you any good. 1080p Will consume far less data and will look the same on that tiny screen. Unless you're using HDMI out to a screen over 50 inches, i don't see the need...
HDR has nothing to do with the resolution (and the fact that you should be watching it on big screens). HDR is about dynamic range and the color range which is perfect to watch on a high-end screen of a premium smartphone display like Galaxy S10.

Color banding in HDR videos.

I don't know if my unit is defective, but on HDR videos (Youtube, Netflix, Mi Video, MXPlayer) you can see a lot of banding in the blacks and the jumps between colors (the dark scenes look very bad). I only found that this also happened to the Samsung S9 but they fixed it with an update. Can anyone check their unit with HDR videos with dark backgrounds? Thank you very much.
Mine Looks Great . Maybe you've got a bad unit
At night times dark videos looks like having some kind of noise.
I don't know what's the prb.
Are you on a custom ROM? I had these problems on pixel experience for the mi8

AFAIK it is a kind of bug in special firmware versions.
On recent firmware versions, it should be fixed.
