I updated the description.
Is there a way to restore the behaviour of Exoplayer 2.9.5, I mean accepting to use hw decoder for video codec avc1.4D0029?

@lmartin You noted in your bug that the issue is reproducible with the demo app. Can you direct us to the content you used to reproduce this issue?

Sorry but I can't share this private content. I fixed the issue by re-encoding the video with ffmpeg, I used this command :
./ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -x264opts keyint=25 -c:a copy output.mp4Changed decoder list sort to order by functional support of format
