This can ALSO be an issue with poorly implemented DRM, btw. I've definitely seen certain popular settop boxes blow up when fed streams that were 100% valid within the constraints of the Main10 profile @ level 5 (both vbv limits and MaxDpbSize). Reducing the reference frame count was the only solution. This was acknowledged as a firmware bug but I don't know if it's ever been fixed
I hear ya Luckily we have a higher minimum device req.
With that said, what we DO have seen as the major issue is actually Lvl1 WV in the combination with 1080p50 for linear sports broadcasts.
Alot of embedded devices running AOSP/ATV cant properly do this without dropping frames in the TEE environment..
Apple IOS/APPLE eats most of our content with little complaint as long as we have ios10+ as the minimum os level req
