The only one I tested is the 1080p file. It seemed to play fine, but you do have to (like every other device) turn off hardware decoding because there is no hardware support for Hi10P.

Btw. 1080p hevc runs with less cpu load (depending on the bitrate of course).
Tested: http://www.libde265.org/hevc-bitstreams/...-cfg01.mkv (running fine)
http://www.libde265.org/hevc-bitstreams/...-tiles.mkv <- this is far too much - but we still work on HW accel, here.

The 1080P version is unwatchable, worse than the Shield with Hardware acceleration on. The water spill from the damn, and next scene with water and floating are just nasty to watch with the freezing image and judder. After that, as it is basically static images, it's harder to tell. The red paint/blood pouring section seems okay, but the tape rotating isn't. Audio dropped three times. I watched both 720 & 1080 three times. 1080P is harder to watch than the Shield with hardware acceleration on due to the stuttering. 720P is liveable if it is only a slight stutter at the start. The playback sections are to short with with too many static shots to tell exactly how prolonged the playback issues are for 720P.
I played them again on the Shield to see if I had missed the audio problem earlier, and it was 100% smooth from the start to end for both.

Looking at graphs it looks like the Nexus Player had a spike close to 100% (water spill scene?) while the SATV CPU never went beyond 67%.Correct, there is a spike at the very beginning and in the case of Nexus Player it is close to 100% on all CPU cores.
Looking at @Hiphopopotamus' Nexus Player results I see the frame rate lowering at some point to 15fps. @wesk05, did you experience any low frame rates (< 23 fps)?

There is no hardware acceleration for 10bit, XVBA wouldn't be used to decode 10bit...

At least this youtube video about Hi10p testfile playback on Acer Iconia W4 tablet with Intel Atom Baytrail CPU using Media Player Classic Homecinema suggests so:
