Hi like many I use the mx pro player for watching videos, the swiping up on the left hand side of the screen whilst watching a video shd change the brightness but for some reason left and right swipe up controls the volume.
Am I doing anything wrong? I gone thru all setting still no joy can anybody hive any suggestion...
Thank you in advance to all that reply

Maybe you need to change the brightness setting to manual and not auto.
Brightness setting is set to manual

MXplayer swipe brightness control was working before I rooted. Now its not. I'm having some other issues with browser2ram so I am going to disable that and see if its the culprit. Installed another brightness swipe control from market and it works fine. BSplayer also fails to swipe control brightness after root. Anyone got to the bottom of this yet?
UPDATE:
I found out that two apps I run were causing the problem. Backlight Switch and Display Brightness. The latter was the one I just installed from the market from the post above. When either of these were loaded at boot then neither MX or BS Player's swipe brightness works. If I disable them as startups (need root) then swipe brightness control works again for both apps.

I thought I found something like that in the settings, but now I can't find it. Maybe that was BS player. One of the two had an option to change the default swipe side for volume and brightness. Does swiping up on the right side control the brighness? If so, maybe they are switched in the settings.
All-
I was having so many problems with both MX and BS players over wifi, and in my exhausting search and troubleshooting, I came across a BETTER PLAYER hands down. Check out Dice Player. Works for me in all cases and I can have other brightness control apps loaded and its swipe brightness control is unaffected. Great app. I don't use the other two any more.
Clear data of the application in app manager hope it work
Problem solved for me
Hi!
I had the same issue: no videoplayer was able to adjust brightness by swiping on the screen. All this went away after I unnistalled an app called "floatifications".
Hope this helps you, too!
I have the same problem on my Note 2. I don't have any kind of app like floatification in this topic. Any solution?
Try locking the input using the lock button given by MX player (not the physical one on the phone).
I've also been having this issue recently where the brightness isn't affected unless I lock the input. Unlocking will reduce brightness again.
Try uninstalling any ram booster application.
I had the same problem wit my mx player too and started removing apps to check any compatibility probslem and foumd out that if i install any sort of ram boosting software the brighness control stops working....
Unfortunately , I have same problem with my Nokia Xl phone , in the past it was responding very well to adjust brightness level, but now it is'nt responding like it was in the past!! .
I think that maybe a problem in the room itself, and maybe it is caused by do root wrongly .
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
sorry for the double post!!!
Hi all,
Is there any way to adjust the gamma of the screen for this device? It's too low for video playback using any of the usual players. Screen brightness on full. Black's still crushed.
Rehue and vitalplayer allow software brightness increase but neither are very smooth and it's still not as good as the correct gamma.
I saw one post on here about editing mdnie but couldn't figure it out, also tried ironmaster rom with stweaks, which usually allows gamma correction , but not it seems with this device. The whole 'screen' tab is missing in stweaks.
Any clues anyone? It's frustrating, the screen looks superb for anything other than video playback.

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
