I’d love to see h.265 support for Optimised Versions and Live Transcoding. I realise that live transcoding hevc requires quite a beefy server even at ultrafast preset.

Would be nice to be able to specify which codec to use. Live h265 needs hardware assit, in theory the nvidea shield server could do this without too much effort, seeing as it already has hardware h264 encoding, and supports hardware decode of 265 at 60fps at 4k.
