ExoPlayer client on Android uses Adaptive Brightness even thow it's turned off - kostiya - 2024-05-13

This happens on HDR10 content only.
I use JF 10.9.0 with 2.9.1 Android App.
It doesn't happen on web player, although I don't want to use it for other reasons.
It dims the screen way to much to my liking, even tho it's off.
This doesn't happen when the room is well lit.

In client settings, check "Remember display brightness".

OK.
It seems it a some kind of API "feature" of android as it's happens on other players.
