Hey anyone facing when playing a hdr video in youtube the color looks washed out
There is no contrast and no accurate colour see screenshot below
I don't think Poco supports HDR video with its "meh" display.
Edit: apparently it should support YouTube HDR playback in 1080p, but I think the screen is not capable of displaying it. I tried some videos and they look washed too.
Same Problem I have

Yup, I have checked for the same and yes colors are washed out tend to be more grey and white side so there is no hdr support in Poco. idk why they still show it in youtube listing like1080pHDR.

yes
this is annoying because if videos are HDR then we cant watch in youtube i didn't find any option to play hdr videos without HDR.
Pause the video in the exact frame, go to display settings, turn off Night/Read Mode and change the Contrast to Increased/Automatic contrast(Warm), reduce the brightness to the viewable range! come back to Youtube, you could see a nice difference in the paused image! shows good dynamic range! but once starts the video, display resets and it starts showing washed out images!! Looks display is ok to display issue in the software to me!
did anyone found how to disable hdr playback in youtube ?

This same video playback on my poco F1 looks like Ur screenshot 1 and def not ugly like the 2nd one.
Unfortunately I am not able to take a screenshot or screenrecord of the same .
The problem is with hdr playback the screenshot comes out black.
Is my display ok cos of the pie based beta 8.11.1 I am using.
Attaching screenshots to explain what is happening with screenshots
Well i played Avengers Infinity war 2160p.10bit.HDR.BluRay.8CH.x265.HEVC (3.69 GB) via both the stock video player and MX player and both rendered colors correctly ?
I can see HDR youtube videos near to the perfection for this screen. The colours are amazing.

I am whit MI 10.2 beta 8.11.1
I found a weird bug. Turn off auto-brightness and increase brightness. Now play an HDR video on youtube. While that washed out video is playing, hower your finger over the light sensor on and off. The screen will try to get dimmer for some reason as if the auto-brightness if on.
I can confirm too. YouTube HDR videos look more on the natural side and a tiny bit washed out. It's definitely doesn't render the more punchy Colors of HDR. Obviously because Poco display is not HDR complaint.
The youtube videos look way better on the web browser than they look on the youtube app.

Well I'm using the global rom but do check the screenshot for the additional details. As for the HDR screenshots, all of them comes out black.
Plays awesome in 8.11.1 beta Android 9 ROM...
Colours look beautiful for me in HDR. When I rotate the screen, it switches back to regular version for a split second and then back to HDR.
Running nitrogen OS on my device.
Check these screenshots
Videos downloaded in HDR format and 1 without hdr
Now you can tell the difference

U mean to say the bottom ones are hdr videos playing on ur phone.
If that is true I certainly don't have such problems.
I have compared YouTube hdr playback on poco with non hdr playback on iPhone 8 plus and mine looked better.
If u can link which videos to download and test i can send screenshots.
the colors looked washed out, because when the phone is at max brightness (which HDR videos turns up the brightness automatically).
there is an option in "display"
"Contrast and colors" select "standard contrast"
pretty sure your issue will be gone, but do note that selecting this option will make your display look yellowish

I just recorded a small video of a local event with stock camera app set on 1080p video. In the video if you look around face of the singer or any thin lines, you will see little squares or jagged lines etc., as if the video was upscaled from 480p or something. It's even more visible on original file on a normal PC display, but even in the web version it's a defininte huge loss of resolution. This is very weird. I'm using madsurfer's ROM, but I don't think it's ROM related.
Here's the video: https://goo.gl/photos/c17a5iofhPas73aP9 - first few seconds are out of focus, then you can see the problem.
Any advice?
OK, I have found a workaround for the video problem!
First - I have confirmed, there is definitely a problem with 1080p video recording with stock camera app. I'm not sure if it's ROM related or stock is the same, but it's definitely there. The quality is very very bad, pixelated and feels upscaled.
However when I have installed Cinema FV-5 app, the quality is great, no more pixelation, everything looks better, even crappy digital zoom is smoother. I have shot same video at the same time with stock app and FV-5, and there is a huge difference:
Stock camera app video - pixelated and jagged edges, huge artifacts, digital zoom shows big square artifacts. Check roof edges on top left, and a street lamp pole line.
Cinema Fv-5 video - everything is smooth, no jagged lines, digital zoom shows no squares or pixelation - just sharpness loss.
You have to open both videos on a PC in full screen and with 1080p HD quality to really see the difference.
So the problem is clearly with the stock app, or madsurfer's ROM version of that app or settings. I think another camera app such as FV-5 solves this issue. I liked the simplicity of stock app, but it's not usable at this moment.
using RN4 snapdragon running Cardinal AOSP. No matter which camera app i use the video recording is always dark and cropped in. Its even worst watching the video on a pc as the video is dark as well as zoomed in or cropped into almost half. Whats causing this problem and whats the solution ?? I believe the video quality is not like that in Stock MIUI rom.

That's zoomed because video stabilization is enabled i guess, but idk about the dark video
Hi, I will copypaste the thread I did post on reddit.
I've just recently got the S9+ Exynos (EU) variant and I wanted to be hyped about HDR media playing. Downloaded some 10bit HDR H265 files and played them through the Samsung Gallery. Cranked High Performance mode to 1440p, +10 brightness and tried between Adaptive/Cinema Mode (this didn't make any difference besides some slight changes in colour and gamma).
Problem is, I see color gradients and a bad greenish tint, lifeless appearance overall. I did try Youtube 4K HDR demos in 1440p as well and, while I can see the extra PQ, color banding is very apparent: background blurred images seem like a weird crushed rainbow :-/
Is this supposed to look like this? I did read about the release (around march) issues people had with black crush and Netflix's HDR, but also read that some update fixed it. It appears that S9+'s AMOLED is 8bit, so is 10bit HDR and Youtube's HDR the culprit? How to play HDR media properly?
PS: Another thing to note is that neither gallery video player nor in youtube player does say HDR in any window or setting while checking file properties. I did read some reports of people seeing HDR stamped at the start of the videos.
Thanks in advance,
I have 2 issues which I am hoping someone on this forum could help with
1. Videos on Netflix are really dark. An app kicks in once Netflix opens and I'm assuming this is the problem
2. No videos play in 21:9 as promised has anyone got this to work? Pinch to zoom doesn't cut it as it crops the video to make it fit

I've noticed these issues as you've
1. Side by side comparison with my Galaxy S8 clearly shows video playback on Xperia 1 is really dark. This is more noticeable with Netflix app and also with pre-loaded Spiderman Far From Home trailer. Not entirely sure if this happens with YouTube too (I think it does because S8's super saturated display blows off X1's natural colour reproduction. Maybe its just my perception.)
2. Only YouTube videos by default play in 21:9 for me. I wasn't able find single NetFlix show or movie in that aspect ratio.

I believe the Samsungs increase the brightness in video apps inc Netflix.
Is hdr dark in Netflix to?
21:9 is a common cinema scope, I hope they get this sorted.
Thanks

Some videos do play in full screen without pinch to zoom, for example fast and furious 8. It needs to be natively on Netflix in the 21:1 aspect ratio.
Hi,
I have Mi 11x Pro (haydnin) stock firmware 12.0.2-12.5.2.
I am having this really annoying colours issue on HDR videos. All HDR videos have really bad color banding in dark areas and the colours appear grayish. The HDR is activated (as I can't change color filters in toolbox) but the videos don't look anything like they should.
I have played side by side with another HDR capable device Asus zenfone 5z and Poco F3 GT (K4O Pro Game enhanced edition). The difference is quite night and day.
Setting the phone in day mode almost fixes the color banding , but the colors are still dull and grayish and the blacks look like I'm using an LCD mobile!
Here see for yourself. A video speaks more than billion words.
If you have this device.
Please set it to night mode.
Set brightness to full.
Play this video on YouTube from 2:30 onwards. (
)
And let me know if you have the ugly color banding and greyish colours as well.
Confirmed the same issue. Seems that Xiaomi has not handled HDR content well

Yes. Absolutely unacceptable if you advertise this phone as having an award-winning display. Please mention your mobile version and firmware version too.

I'm using K40 Pro + Xiaomi.eu 21.8.11
I'm thinking of the incompatibility between Miui and Youtube app when playing HDR content.

It's not only YouTube. But every platform I tested, it is buggy.
UPDATE:
ADDED A BRIEF VIDEO of the issue as compared a a device without this issue (Poco F3 GT)

I returned the device. But if you can't. I suggest you use SVP video player from playstore. It'll give you right colours.
Clear camera cache and reset the setting in the camera app and set picture quality at highest

I'm not talking about the camera pics/videos.
HDR is terrible in the Mi 11i. It oversharpens and has inconsistent saturation. I'm hoping they'll address that in the MIUI 13 update.
