Topic: SVP for iPad, 10bit or HDR video is not plying properly

Hi, I did some test for the iPad version and found a few problems want to discuss.
Platform: iPad Pro (M5)
10 bit and HDR video playback seems like not rendering at the highest quality possible. I played a test footage using SVP and VLC and looks like the 10bit video is currently rendering at 8bit as shown in the screenshot on the left, while the VLC is displaying the currect pattern. Also HDR videos looks like are rendering in SDR on SVP. Not sure if this is by design because of the computing power is not capable of running the full HDR/10bit depth.

SVP is also having trouble playing the video to an external display. If I move the SVP app to the external screen and expand(full screen) the app, it still will not play in full screen.

mpv player doesn't support HDR output on iOS for now, it can only do tone mapping to SDR
