Android support is lackluster?

As the title says, Android support appears to be lackluster. The Android .conf is very barebones. At least compared to other .confs (like the PS3.conf, for example). Can someone either help me create a .conf that works well for at least Nexus 7 2013s (flo) or someone that knows way more about building. conf files (which is probably a lot of people) add to it in a meaningful way and I'll be happy to test and report on it. One of my main issues, other than a poor .conf (perhaps the they are related?), is that it doesn't appear that any settings in UMS are being applied to the video file being played on my device. For example, I disabled subtitles in UMS but they still appeared when I played a video file on my device (BubbleUPnP => Library => Universal Media Server => <filepath to video> => Tap thumbnail for video => Video opens in MXPlayer). Also, since I primarily watch anime and since a lot of anime nowadays is released in 10-bit h.264 in an mkv container, there really should be a way to force transcode 10-bit videos to 8-bit (or whatever is done to make them playable on PS3 since my PS3 doesn't have any issues with playing 10-bit mkvs even though it can't play mkvs or 10-bit files). Even though my N7 2013 can play 10-bit videos, they are quite laggy (heavy framedrops). My nexus doesn't have any trouble with 8-bit files regardless of resolution or bitrate.
Currently, I'm using MX Player (with the ARMv7 Neon custom codec) as my player, BubbleUPnP for my Android DLNA renderer and UMS for my PC DLNA server (obviously). My device is a Nexus 7 2013 (flo) using Cyanogenmod 11.
Thanks.
