MX Player supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) content, including 4K HDR, HDR10, and Dolby Vision [12, 27, 29]. To enable HDR, your hardware must support it, and you may need to install specific codec packs for optimal playback of high-definition audio and video formats [17, 28]. How to Enable and Optimise HDR in MX Player
However, be realistic: no custom codec can turn an SDR screen into HDR. If your device lacks an HDR-certified panel, the custom codec will only prevent color distortion—it won’t magically produce 1000 nits of brightness. On a proper HDR display, though, MX Player with the patched FFmpeg codec is a revelation.
Standard versions of MX Player may lack specific codecs for high-bitrate HDR or advanced audio formats like EAC3.
