 should insert proper codec info string for HEVC both into master.m3u8 and
 manifest.mpd.

 However, even though the tag is forced as {{{hvc1}}}, the resulting codec
 info string is {{{hev1}}} in both manifest types, which is ignoring the
 forced tag or generated hvc1 box and it is not complete as specified by
 ISO, it is missing profile, level, etc.

 resulting truncated master.m3u8
 {{{#EXT-X-STREAM-
 INF:BANDWIDTH=3002056,RESOLUTION=1440x1080,CODECS="hev1"}}}

 resulting truncated manifest.mpd
 {{{<Representation id="0" mimeType="video/mp4" codecs="hev1"
 bandwidth="3000000" width="1440" height="1080" frameRate="25/1">}}}

 Especially m3u8 is now problematic since native decoder in Safari is
 refusing such m3u8 playlist.
 Inserting CODECS tag into master.m3u8 playlist is a recently commited
 feature, removing this tag or replacing the {{{hev1}}} value with one
 based on ISO makes the stream in Safari playable again.

 Not including FFmpeg log as it is irrelevant.
