Chapter 5: Best Alternatives When MX Player HDR Support Fails

If you’ve followed all steps and still get washed-out colors or stuttering, consider these superior HDR players: The "solid story" on Go to product viewer

• 2016–2019: MX Player could play 10-bit HEVC files using the SW decoder, but it ignored HDR metadata. Result: Dull colors, no real HDR.
• 2020 (v1.24.0): MX Player added HW+ decoder with basic HDR10 passthrough. This was a game-changer. For the first time, on devices with Snapdragon 845 or newer, HDR videos showed correct colors and brightness.
• 2021–2024: Incremental updates. MX Player now supports HDR10 passthrough on HW+ mode, but no tone mapping for non-HDR screens, and no Dolby Vision (unless the device’s system player handles it via MX Player’s “System” decoder).

HW+ utilizes the newer Android MediaCodec API more aggressively. It bypasses some of the legacy Android rendering layers, allowing the app to send the HDR10/HLG metadata directly to the hardware compositor. For most modern devices, enabling HW+ is mandatory for proper HDR playback.
