How to play hdr videos in any player other than the stock Samsung video player? - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

I've tried
Vlc
Mx player
Plex
All runs without hdr (but have proper colors, etc. It seems it automatically do HDR to sdr conversion).
While stock Samsung video player do display in hdr.
When hdr is active, it Easily can be noticed by seeing hdr video with high brightness gap (e.g. Neon signs, city line and bright sky), and by pulling down the notification bar or recent menu (colors / gamma will looks weird as heck)
Edit: same issue with this guy https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/tablets/tabs4-amp-fake-hdr/td-p/884456

[Q] Video player display change

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what happens to create the display saturation change?
i.e. during playback in the video player the display is somewhat different to the usual sharpness/saturation

Any easy way to fix Cinema Amoled colors?

Hi, in my opinion Cinema Amoled mode makes red/orange look weird
Like intense red turns into somethink like grey/red and orange turns into yellow
I was trying to watch The Martian and everithing looks yellow, like the red sand of mars is the prrcise tone of red that changes into yellow (so i had yo use Photo Amoled, but I dont like the white calibration on that mode) Why Samsung made that weird color calibration?
Maybe the perfect mode will be something like Auto before it turns into Cinema, I mean, if you are in a movie and you change between modes, then you activate Auto Mode, you can see few seconds before it turns into Cinema. and I think Auto looks better, is like Photo but with cooler white... Also I like the higher contrast and intense blue and green of the Cinema mode...
There is any easy way to fix? I found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../guide-loadable-mdnie-color-profiles-t2828089
But I dont really know if is what im looking for, also I think that method look risky :silly:
Maybe someone made an installable mod with the colors fixed?
Or maybe there is any way to make Auto Mode permanent without changing when I see a movie? Some king of video player that tablet doesnt recognize as it?
I always leave my display colour set to auto on my T800, it only works with a few Samsung apps, like the stock video player, or stock browser and a few others, it does not work with third-pary video players or apps.
Have you checked you screen is not faulty, like it`s yellowish or greenish instead of being white, try a screen tester app showing a white screen, if your screen is OK
I only ever use the stock Samsung video player on my T800 and i virtually always leave the adaptive display enabled, now and then i find a video that looks better with the adaptive display disabled.

The screen is OK, with adaptative the white is good, with Photo is warm white
Im using MX player, and stock and the screen chage into Cinema with all video apps I tried, including Youtube
I'll try another video apps not so popular and look if the screen doesnt turn into Cinema Mode, but I'd like to fix it and use MX, maybe there is any way to exclude MX player from the "Cinema Mode Apps"?
Edit: Okay, with VLC Player the screen stays in Auto without changing to Cinema, great
Anyway, I'll keep looking to fix the red/orange tone in cinema

Video player with integrated zoom

Hi guys,
The original video app does not allow the pinch in - pinch out to zoom in the videos, am I right? I can see an option that messes up the aspect ratio, but no zooming.
The pinching thing works great with youtube, though. Do you use any video app that works with the zooming options without messing up with the aspect ratio?
Thanks!
Use MX Player https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad
You can pinch in and zoom to get the perfect balance or keep clicking the button in the bottom right corner to get to the crop option (same as YouTube)
Thanks for that, exactly what I wanted.
Cheers
I´ve also used VLC player, it let´s you choose between different aspect ratios

over saturated colors in full screen YouTube videos

whenever a video is played in full screen its colors are over saturated specially in youtube
if you want to try it just open youtube in chrome in desktop mode and watch a video in regular screen then press full screen within seconds the colors will become over saturated
also the color wheel effect is minimal on full screen videos .. I think it is something related to full screen videos and hdr10 screen where colors should stay natural on non hdr videos but instead it pumps the video colors
where can we inform huawei with this bug
don't understand me wrong I don't want to get rid of the over saturated colors for all .. I just want the option to turn it on and off whenever I want

Dull hdr playback

Dull hdr playback on Netflix / prime/ YouTube.
Also the side black bars appear grayish. Is this normal?
