Thanks for adding that supportt, and agree with you regarding using H.264 10 bit, there is next to no hardware support for it. Where it makes a big difference is with H.265 encodes.

The android hardware players (as well as Samsung/LG Smart TV) that have H.265 support also support 10bit files. There is a noticeable difference between using 8 and 10 bit when it comes to banding in my experience, especially in dark scenes. The down sampling being done from the 10bit to 8 bit when it appears on your 8bit display on your computer is still superior to just having encoding it as 8bit with H.265.

I know at least my OLED 4K TV is rendering the 10bit with 10bits too.
