Hi guys!
I recently bought a Sony Bravia KD55X8505C, and partly to be able to use Kodi on it
I've got it set up with network shares and it's working really well but I have a really annoying issue;
The TV has a setting for automatically dimming the brightness of the screen depending on surrounding light and I guess also how bright the scene on the TV is.
This is a really annoying setting that basically makes the TV switch brightness seemingly randomly, ruining awesome movies like Gravity for example, and I have turned it off on my TV.
My problem is that it doesn't work with Kodi.
It works everywhere else in the TV, like when watching Youtube videos, Digital TV, Apple TV or even streaming movies from my NAS to the built in video player, but when streaming the same movies through Kodi the brightness of the TV switches from dim to bright a lot and it's driving me crazy.
I've been in contact with Sony and they tested it in their tech support TV's and they said it seems to be a Kodi issue.
Does any of you guys have any solution for this? Any way to maintain the TV's functionality for switching off this auto dimming?
Or perhaps this is something the tech team needs to have a look at for future releases?
FYI, I have tried every other setting in the TV such as auto contrast off, and all other auto things off as well. Even total reset of the TV's settings..
Hope someone can help because I really love Kodi and want to be able to continue using it
Thanks guys!
