edde746 ea356a6112 fix(plex): use fMP4 HLS for video transcodes so HEVC presets stop corrupting
Non-Original presets advertised hevc inside the mpegts HLS target; a Plex
Pass server with HEVC encoding enabled obliges, and its HEVC encode -> TS
segmenter path emits parameter sets mpv rejects ("PPS changed between
slices"). The VOD target now requests fragmented MP4 (verified against
PMS 1.22-1.43), retrying once with an H.264-only TS profile when a
server's decision does not echo the mp4 container back, and falling back
to direct play when neither is honoured. Live TV keeps its own TS target:
live sessions copy broadcast hevc/mpeg2video streams, a path the encoder
bug does not touch.

Presets also now send the videoResolution/videoQuality caps their labels
promise; previously only the bitrate limitation went out, so a "1080p
8 Mbps" preset delivered 2160p at a starved 8 Mbps.
