Yes, I'm pretty sure this is because the S8 doesn't support High 10 profile. This is a limitation of the device (and most other older devices).

As to whether the player should figure this out rather than trying to play the stream: It seems that we don't do a profile check before starting playback because Format.codecs doesn't get populated when playing MKV or MP4 streams directly. We should take a look at whether it's easy to populate the information based on what's in the container.

S8 only doesn't support high 10 hardware-wise, right? It is possible to play high 10 content on various other android players.
