bug: device specific

### Version ExoPlayer 2.18.4 ### More version details _No response_ ### Devi…ces that reproduce the issue **Bug Description** There is an old bug that won't let you watch mkv video files that have dolby vision/hdr10. Kodi developers was able to create a workaround for their app on Android TV (by disallowing either HDR10+ or DV). Additionally these devices seem to struggle with Profile 7, forcing 8.1 as a hack seems to work as well. **Devices:** - TCL C825 - TCL MQLED80 - Firestick 4k max Other Android TVs may experience the same issue, but haven't had the chance to test as I only have access to these two TV models. **More information:** This happend on all mkv files that have dolby vision 8.1/hdr10+.

No ### Reproduction steps 1. Install Kodi/Stremio/Plex/Jellyfin on Android TV. 2. Watch any video (mkv format) that have dolby vision/hdr10 using the ExoPlayer as player. ### Expected result Should be able to watch mkv files that have dolby vision/hdr10 ### Actual result The app freezes completely, and when it does, my TV becomes completely unresponsive for up to 5 minutes until the app crashes. During the freeze, none of the remote buttons work, and there's no power button on the TV itself, so I’m literally forced to play the waiting game every time this happens. One might suggest unplugging the power cord, but doing so several times a day isn’t exactly a great solution. ### Media https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/files/11150792/bugreport-kara-PS7624.3338N-2023-04-04-13-26-43.zip ### Bug Report - [X] You will email the zip file produced by `adb bugreport` to android-media-github@google.com after filing this issue.
