Vidaa OS web browser reports it supports HEVC but playback is glitchy. Tested on 2 models (U7 & U8). This commit disables HEVC on Vidaa OS browser profile and uses transcoding instead to play HEVC files.

With MKV disabled and hlsInTs, hevc videos work properly by remuxing on Hisense Vidaa OS. Tested on model 55U7QF.

Removed force disabling hevc as it is no longer required with hlsInTs
