HEVC/x265 support? #40

Is there support planned for HEVC/x265 encoded videos?

For more about it, read here: libe265 and x265.

With JS, performance issues are very much present. This app is mainly for chromeOS based hardware which usually come with very limited processing power. libde265.js will not provide a viewable experience. So no, unless browsers themselves start supporting it, i don't think there is much that can be done. I don't know much about these things, so I could be wrong.
