Do you have this issue with a particular video? Or all HEVC videos?
Without knowing the model and specs of the Android TV device, it is hard to rule out the client just not properly supporting HEVC. The client negotiates with the server on the codec used for transcoding. If the device is claiming HEVC support, but doesn't actually support it fully, that may be what is going on.
It sounds like you can have hardware acceleration enabled, you can have 8-bit HEVC decoding enabled, but you can't have HEVC encoding enabled.
