Let me know when we should flip the pref for HEVC, I will do that in this bug. Thanks!

We will ship HEVC playback by default via hardware decoding on Fx133.

:alwu, drive-by comment since this hasn't received any uplift requests.
Next week is the final week of beta. This has been nightly only so has not received any coverage in beta.
This should ride the train with Fx134.
