[vlc-devel] [PATCH 2/5] mediacodec: add hevc mimetype

[Thomas Guillem]

I tested it only on a Nvidia Shield tablet (Tegra K1). It run fine
(with the others patches).

VLC use the MediaCodec API from JAVA, it's the public API from
android-sdk that don't change for one manufacturer.
But all manufacturers can modify the private native API
(MediaCodec.cpp and co), so that where they add support for extra
codecs..
