Well, this one looks very much like a hardware limitation. We try to
configure the hardware codec with the settings of that stream and it
reports back that it's not supported.

Seems unlikely that something can be done about that, other than using
a software codec. The Qualcomm website mentions that the Snapdragon S4
Pro as built into the Nexus 7 2013 can only do up to Full HD.
