HEVC can't direct play in most environments, might be good to add to default ReEncodeVideo list

I was processing a large list of files and I noticed some were HEVC and didn't get automatically converted. HEVC as far as I can tell doesn't work in direct play in any players I've tried, so I added it to my list as follows:

    "ReEncodeVideo": [
    ...
      {
        "Format": "hevc"
      },
     ...

and now I have no issues. Just thought I'd report this as it might be a good idea to add it to the defaults

Interesting, I have lots of hevc / h265 content that directplays on NVidia Shield, I assume you converted it back to h264?
