Review: MX Player HDR Support Installation

1. The Short Answer

MX Player does not natively support HDR (HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision) in the same way modern players like VLC or Just (Video) Player do.
However, with the right custom codec and device capabilities, you can sometimes play HDR content — but it will likely be tonemapped to SDR, not displayed as true HDR.

Part 5: Alternative Codecs – The "No Play Store" Method

Step 3: Extract and Move the Codec File

  1. Use a file manager to extract the downloaded .zip file.
  2. Inside, you will find a single file: libffmpeg.mx.so.neon (or similar name).
  3. Create a folder on your internal storage named mx_custom_codec (case sensitive).
  4. Copy the .so file into that folder.
