Hello.
I was wondering if some of you found a way to read x265 files with 10bit HDR content bt.2020.
Using the native video app or VLC, I just got a grey-ish screen like I have when watching the movie on my SDR computer screen. The native app didn't even decode the soundtrack (aac I think). Any clue?
I use a mobile version of Kodi, hdr works very well, mxplayer work . Besides I do not have any problem playing hdr on VLC either. Regardles to vlc you may consider turning YUV (FORCES CHROMA) In setting,advanced,
Ps sony Xperia one pick brights is not as high to fulfill full gamet of hdr , although do not qoute me on that
I will try those one, thank you.
I suppose it's about the codec used. I'll try another file

That a files format I use and plays perfect
I tried Kodi and MX player, and run the same as VLC:
SDR:
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x808 23.976fps [V: English [eng] (h264 high L4.1, yuv420p, 1920x808) [default]]
Audio: DTS 48000Hz 6ch 1536kbps [A: English [eng] (dts, 48000 Hz, 5.1, 1536 kb/s)]
HDR:
Video: HVC1 1920x804 23.976fps [V: Avengers Infinity War 2018 x265 1080p HDR10 [fre] (hevc main 10, yuv420p10le, 1920x804) [default]]
Audio: DD+ 48000Hz 6ch 512kbps [A: VFF EAC3 7.1 [fre] (eac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, 512 kb/s) [default]]
HDR content here is really darker. But I was wrong, it's not grey-ish like on my SDR computer monitor. I have to set the brightness at the maximum to watch the HDR movie, and be in the dark. Well, the trailer of spiderman far from home bundled in the phone goes the same way (Video: HVC1 3840x1644 23.976fps 12480kbps [V: video handler (hevc main 10, yuv420p10le, 3840x1644, 12480 kb/s)])… I'm in creator mode, but maybe I messed up other settings?
It's boring, but I'll try a factory reset to be sure.
EDIT: nothing after a factory reset. Maybe I just need to put the briightness at the max for HDR content to have enought output for the light peaks.
Ok, so it was just a misunderstanding from myself. HDR file should be watched with brightness at 100%. It will not use that much Energy since the movie is purposely darker, allowing brightness peak on some part of the screen. Just watched Shazam in full blu-ray iso and it was really great. Beautiful screen. I need a 2To SD card tho xD

After latest update, phone automatically turn brightness to 100% for HDR content. At least this has been consistent with YouTube HDR videos.

I'll see that when I'll get the update. Not really a matter since it's just a swipe on the screen with VLC. Just a shame VLC is not 4k. I have my 4K video downscaled to the app to be read on a 4k screen -_- (proof is if I set the zoom to "centered", the image is twice time bigger than the screen, it should be perfectly displayed if it was 4k on 4k).

I may find a solution for the problem, the sony xperia one is running at 21:9 version of the 1080p which is not really hdr standard, try to turn off the game enhancement , it will switch back to native 21:9 4k it should switch to natively hdr... I have disable that on the very first day of mobile phone usage since I do not game on my phone.

Thanks, but are you sure game enhencer is used even when it's not displaying the game enhancer settings and with app that are not on the game enhancer list?
Anyway, I disabled it and VLC is still in 2K (I never had game enhancer working with this app since it show a big round Rainbow on the corner of the screen when game enhancer is working).
And I'm positive it's 2K and not FHD, the 4k movie are only cut by half. And it's logical since most phone work in 2k so VLC was developped with that in mind. Xperia 1 use the max setting available on an app till 4k.
Anyway, pentile 4k is really crisp and it's ok for me.
About HDR, just set the brithness to maximum to allow the phone to use enought power for bright peak. The rest of the scene is purposely dark because of this.

The screen is not 4k native. It doesn't work that way.

Hello, is there a way to bring the zoom to a minimum when you make videos in FullHD because they see wrong with it at full zoom.
Thanks for the help
it's not zoom it's cropping and no
Download MX video player and choose the croping style that you like you can even pinch to zoom while the clip is playing
therefore there is no ch allow me to change the zoom when recording video in FullHD?

I meant exactly the video recording and playback
So now it is certain that no one can at least keep to a minimum zooming when recording Full HD ??????
Hi all,
I'm testing what video conversion settings might be good for our Mini. So far, if I use 640-320, it either doesn't fill the screen, or if it does, the people in the video look squashed...
Anyone been testing?
i actually never convert any video since most of the video format simply plays on the phone. what player do you use? i use mxvideo player, the problem when you're converting is, its squeeze the whole frame to fit into inappropriate ratio that's why everything looked squashed.
mxvideo player gives you the zoom option, and you can choose the one that fit you best(might crop the video a bit)
WOW
I just found the BEST settings! I've tried this with my ipod classic so many times and never got it perfect...but for the Mini! Try this!!
I use Format Factory. Handbrake is also good. In format factory, I found the iphone (no idea which version, doesn't say) has the same resolution) though I searched for many devices. I selected that then edited it a tiny bit:
MPEG4(DivX)
480x320
bitrate 576 (or similar)
FPS Default
Aspect Ratio Fully Expand
Sample Rate 44100
Bitrate Default
I've been testing conversion of a 2 minute trailer, you don't want to test on a full film etc. because if it doesn't work out you will waste 1-2 hours every time it's a bad conversion... I've done about 6 tests on a film trailer and this format is absolutely perfect...the entire video is on screen, nothing is squashed, the audio is so crisp and clear...wow! Time to convert en-masse!!
p.s. I have disabled auto-brightness. I highly recommend anyone wishing to convert films etc. to do that...the screen is WAY to dark without disabling auto-brightness.
Try a trailer or other short video on the above settings and see for yourself...
have yu try a full movie & whats tha outcome?
i used xilisoft video coverter 6 ..
the setting i set to Android MP4 profile ..
change the size to 720x480 with high quality
also used a little pan and scan to zoom it a little
and at 30fps..
play it to my mini with stock video player is like watching an HD movie

I have tried this with one of my favourite films and I'm delighted with the progress!
To the other guy...how's the aspect ratio? Nobody is squashed? I'd like to try that too!

If you're asking me ..the aspect ratio is 16:9 ..but when i use pan and scan effect ..it will make it fit to screen without nobody squashed as in because its zoom
I just tried this app from store and 4k recording works with that.. you might find it slightly laggy at times but do try it and report
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap
it's a paid app... enable advance settings and select resolution and other options from videos tab

you guys can also try the app by downloading from the app thread but it would work only when offline
Sent from my SM-N900
Great ! Thanks
Excellent. The only thing we need to do is to figure out if it's real 4K or just 1080p upscaled to 4k.
Can you do 1080p 60fps?

Nope. Even the 4K video is at a variable framrate so not of any great use as the frame rate changes from 15-25. I guess we'll have more access to camera functions once Android L comes out as it is supposed to have API's that give better control of the camera.
poco support hdr does it mean i can download hdr content and use it and get the reql hdr in my phone i mean will the viewing experience be real hdr
well it can play hdr files fine with the media player but youtube hdr videos are washed out .. you have to understand the screen is only 8bit not 10bit so if the app will not convert colors correctly form 10 bit to 8 bit it will be washed out
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,
