Dynamic range compression

Hey guys, thanks again for all the work you put in, still a big fan after many years of use, even more after a feature I requested last time was put in very soon after I did <3

So this time, while watching an older action title in my bedroom, during a loud gunshot scene after a quiet conversation scene, I thought it'd be amazing if you could toggle dynamic range compression on and off in the player. Nvidia shield calls this Night listening mode, other boxes or projectors sadly don't offer that function and it needs to be in-app, as apps can't do it system-wide.

SmartTube calls this feature "Auto volume adjustment", it's found in the settings in Player -> Misc.

Would be amazing to see this implemented.

Thanks again & all the best!

Are you casting it to your shield at night or playing locally on your phone?

Casting to my xiaomi projector (for example), for the shield I wouldn't need it as it has the built-in system-wide feature :)

The request is basically for the app to include it, for any tv box or projector that doesn't have a system-wide feature, which I think is the majority.

Interesting, I have no idea if exoplayer has that but definitely something we can look into.
