Feature Request: More Codec Support + HDR Support

[tivvo]

Yeah. That's pretty much the just of it.
See the following codecs based off of Dolby's Codec Test website to most-likely add:
(Video)

• HEVC/H265 Main Profile (video/mp4 ; codecs="hev1.1.6.L93.B0")
• HEVC/H265 Main 10 Profile (video/mp4 ; codecs="hev1.2.4.L153.B0")
• HDR Support
  (Audio)
• AAC Main (audio/mp4; codecs="mp4a.40.1")
• MPEG-H LC (audio/mp4; codecs="mhm1.0x<0B || 0C || 0D || 0E>")

Not really a huge deal-breaker, but one for a few people (which kind of includes me considering i got a macbook), but it would also be nice for the general end-user at the end of the day.

There's a large disparity between browsers unfortunately.

Also the HEVC argument has been existed for a bit, but this is more then that at this point.

Really hope HEVC gets supported. VLC and MPV support it and they are open source projects. Don't get what is stopping other browsers from following suit.

At least for HEVC:

• Windows: HW Decode, need the HEVC Extensions on MS Store
• macOS: HW Decode, available on FF 136.0 (or Zen 1.9b/t) -> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1924066
• Linux: SW(?) Decode, available on FF 137.0 (Should be added to Zen Twilight on the next RC) -> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1894818

Awesome! Thanks for info!

Update:
( @stpnwf, mentioning you specifically incase you don't know, this might be Mac only)

Seems to have been added between whenever I made this discussion post and now, quite awesome!
Still missing some of the audio codecs and HDR support on Mac though but; all of the codecs except the Dolby ones have been added.

Here's a pic just for reference, not gonna close yet though because the audio codecs and HDR support are missing, so it'd be nice to get more traction for those.

I think this was implemented with the new Firefox version so uh, yeah.
March 7th, apparently.
