Would like to see this!

We are working with partners to determine timing for rolling out support to our release channel, and I will follow up here once we confirm.

@itskaren I'm using nightly131. Please is there a way to verify that hevc is turned on

Hello,

Just created an account to share my findings. I'm currently running version 130.0.

Go to the web page "about:config" in your Firefox. In the search bar at the top, type "hevc". It should find "media.wmf.hevc.enabled". @wutongtaiwan 

If enabled, you should have a "1" at the end of that line. If you have a "0", "hevc" is disabled.
If you have it on "0", simply double-click the "0", then type in "1" and then press Enter.

Enjoy.

@itskarenI would REALLY like to see HEVC for non-DRM content. Use-case: Ubiquiti now supports HEVC for their video camera software. If I enable HEVC for my cameras, now I can't use firefox anymore to watch my cameras. I don't want to have to switch browsers just for that. Start a GoFundMe or whatever!
