Media apps automatically raising brightness - Note 7 Questions & Answers

Hey guys, a couple of days ago I noticed that when I open media apps (camera, youtube, NFL Mobile, MX Player) the brightness of the screen automatically goes up and it's driving me nuts. It did not do this before, anyone know how to disable this?
Thanks

Yes! That was it, thanks for fast reply.

I didn't turn on my video enhancer, but l find that the stock camera's brightness is still too bright when I use it at night.

yes the camara will bright as full as the phone can no matter the light sensor, multimedia is just adjustable via video enhancer

Video brightness gone?

Has anyone else noticed that since the last OTA update, the individual video brightness feature is gone? Can someone on a stock rom check to make sure I'm not going crazy?
I am on the original stock rom. The phone was rooted about 6 weeks ago.
I checked under settings>display>brightness.....but didn't see a video adjustment level.
But I am probably looking in the wrong place. Let me know where it is and ill check again.....

I'm not on stock but did you go to the video app and check the preferences? There should be an option there. If it's gone, I guess they did remove it since people were complaining.
But no worries! MX player (or was it BS player?) has a feature where you can set the brightness for videos played with the app.

Yup they removed it from the video player settings.
Yes they've removed it from browser also. But no big deal since we have brightness toggle in pull down menu (=

Screen rotation glitch?

Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys are having this issue as well? I tested 2x Note 2's and they both do this. The problem i'm having is whenever I rotate the device while viewing a video, screen brightness/contrast/gamma (i really don't know which?) goes up momentarily and goes back to normal again. It doesn't do this on stock video player but for example YouTube or MX Player does this. As for YouTube, go to play store and play any app demo videos because if you actually go to YouTube app when you rotate the device video will rotate as well and it's hard to see this problem.
Update: as for MX Player, this problem stopped when I put screen orientation to "landscape", by default it was on auto rotation (landscape). I think Note 2's system auto-rotation is conflicting with app's rotation?? Not a huge issue but gets really annoying I hope I didn't get 2x defective note2s....
Do you have smart rotation enabled?

Oh man... Thanks man, Yep that was the cause of this issue.... I turned off auto-rotation, I didn't think smart rotation would be still active.
All these good features causes at least one issues, what the heck... Smart rotation off, ripple effect off... I wonder what's next, hopefully nothing too major! :/

Thank you too!
I didn't even notice the issue with the ripple effect until you mentioned it, hehe.

[Q] Video taken with stock camera (last version) saved an upside down video

Well, I have read stuff about the Nexus 5x saving upside down images/vids with 3rd party apps that didn't use API correctly, but today I saved a video, which looks OK on the device, but when I send it to the PC.. it is upside down.
Is this common? it has any fix? can I fix the vid somehow?
If this happens to the stock camera... what the **** Google..
I've read somewhere that it's normal, the sensor it's upside-down so it puts a flags for apps to turn it around.. the problem is that I tested any program on Windows (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, VLC, WMP, etc..) and ALL of them show the video upside-down...

Hmm, I downloaded the last version from hpc hc yesterday and it was still upside down. What is that madvr render stuff? Some sort of plugin? This is interesting because if this works im keeping the n5x, if not im returning it (because I want the video reproduced well on pc)
Thanks!
No special settings. Just set madVR as default renderer and launch video by double-click. At least it working in my rig with external GPU. Here is also the feature request in mpc hc trac: https://trac.mpc-hc.org/ticket/2202.
How has google/LG not come up with a better fix for this? Two of my apps that use the camera (Stampt and Chase Mobile Banking) show the video upside down. It is extremely annoying. I realize that the app *should* be updated to the latest API, but if you make upside down hardware YOU should be the one to fix it, not force everyone else to conform.

Works! Thanks a lot!!!! Too bad madVR lags some the video reproduction (specially when returning from full screen) , I don't know why I have to move to such thing just for this device. I hope MPC-HC adopts it soon!!

Google. They didn't even use the API how they say on most of their apps. Google is the enemy of nexus lately.
Another option in MPC (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema) besides MadVR is to rotate the video while playing. Use the following the shortcuts (alt + numpad 3) twice to rotate to 180 degrees as shown in my attached image.
I know it's a pain but this is a workaround for now at least. Along with MadVR.

HDR10 on Youtube app bug?

When I'm watching any HDR10 content in landscape on the YouTube app, the display brightness goes haywire and continually goes all the way up and down by itself. It only acts like this when viewing full screen. It does this on both vanced YouTube and the regular app but not when playing directly through the YouTube website. I turned auto brightness off and it still does this. Does anyone else experience the same problem? I own the L29 btw

Thank you! Working great now It didn't have any option besides a codec override toggle. No S8+ or pixel choices but it still solved the problem. Thanks again

Me too have the same issue. Haven't find any solution yet
Can you share the link YouTube you have it? So I can compare with a different device.
Hello, I have a xiaomi poco f3 and experienced something similar but worse (youtube videos showing weird pixels and colors or noise like display at parts of the video, like a broken tv signal). I tried moving from miui 14 to a custom pixel OS but it did not solve the issue. Another thing I experienced is that 240p and below it was working flawlessly, anything above and I'd get the glitches. Likewise, other platforms like twitch.tv worked perfectly. Trying revanced youtube, root version or not, did not work for me. I pinpointed the problem to the vp9 codec, which is used by youtube videos when setting resolution above 240p. The following things worked for me:
a) Whats your refresh rate? Try setting it at 120hz at all times (other options like setting it automatically or per app won't do, for my pixelOS, it was "force peak refresh rate" in Display settings). This solution worked for me globally, including the youtube app, but increases battery consumption.
b) Browser only solution, that works without forcing max refresh rate at all times (and thus saving battery): use the enhanced-h264ify extension, available for android only for kiwi browser, afaik. There, in the addon options, block vp8, vp9 and av1 (iirc they all came pre checked)
