vaapi HEVC support

This is current/amd64 (dmesg below).
The graphics (Skylake) supports HEVC decoding

I am not entirely sure what "hevc (Main 10) (hvc1 / 0x31637668)" is,
but e.g. mpv says "hevc: No support for codec hevc profile 2."

$ mpv london.mp4

Can someone more video-savy please explain what exactly it is
that my Skylake (or the vaapi support of it) is missing?

Reading
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficiency_Video_Coding_tiers_and_levels
I suppose I have support for the HEVC Main tier, not the High tier.
But what is the "profile 2" mpv complains about?

While here, is there a way to tell if ffplay is using hardware decoding?
Possibly not on this file, but in general: mpv says so if it does.
