it seems that the himedia video player is controlling every other video player ( when 24hz is switched on via the app menu , the effect takes place on every other app , etc. android default player and mxplayer. Even with the minor playback artifacts i noticed before when using himedia video player are also affecting the playback quality on other video apps.....
the only exception is kodi , which is having it's own identity with no artifacts or automatic 24hz switching based on choices made on himedia video player... and that's a relief. so for me , kodi remains the best video player on the himedia q10 pro
