some YT vids extremely bright

[sundry]

Occasionally some YouTube videos get extremely bright when in landscape. When I rotate the video, the high brightness scales down to dim. I have adaptive brightness turned off.
When I get these extremely bright vids, and I use the brightness slider, it has no effect.

Is there a pattern to which YouTube videos? Have you tried clearing the app cache/data for YouTube?

I believe it's HDR doing it. Watching portrait vs landscape changes the brightness. HDR vs regular below.

I cleared the cache and it's no different. I've just skipped the vids that have that happen. This time I saved the video so I can go back and see if it repeats and it does. YouTube hasn't been good on my p6p.

Edit: You need to watch these on the phone itself to see the brightness issue.

It appears you're correct. You're first vid triggered HDR and when rotating went back to normal in portrait.
The video I was watching earlier, was just a YouTuber showing some phone cases. It shouldn't have triggered HDR, I wouldn't think.
This appears to be a bug?
Can I disable HDR In the settings somewhere?

I haven't experienced this.

You wouldn't want to experience this. Haha. It was Jerry Springer (YouTuber) demonstrating the new s-view flip cover for s22 ultra. That cover was white and the background was white it almost seared my eyes.

I changed the video quality on the YouTube app. Went to settings, video quality preferences and changed it to data saver, from higher picture quality. Now the video is normal in landscape and portrait.
I changed it back to higher picture quality and it also now displays properly.
Thanks B. Diddy and StormnNJ for your help.

Turning adaptive off and brightness all the way down HDR video overrides settings and goes full brightness in landscape compared to portrait when moving between the two. Must be a bug haven't found anything in settings.

I watched your latest clip. When I lower the brightness all the way there video is still in hdr, but when I go back and touch the brightness slider it does go very dim, and stays dim. If I move the slider up even just a little, it goes back to hdr
