Add H.265/HEVC support
Bridge does not work with H.265/HEVC files. It neither plays the video in the preview pane, nor does it cache thumbnails for any H.265 files. I am running the latest version of Bridge (12.0.0.234) on Win10. Adobe support have confirmed that H.265/HEVC is not supported.
When I enquired about this, Adobe's own automated support system provided a link about someone requesting this in 2017! H.265/HEVC is no longer an emerging format. It's where the industry is heading, and is seeing wide acceptace. iPhones have shot H.265/HEVC by default for years, and modern entry-level cameras are starting to adopt H.265 as their main codec.
This really should be a feature by now and renders Bridge unusable for my purposes.

Please please please add this. Even the Windows File Explorer has for years supported thumbnails for h.265 files. It's next to impossible to manage visual assets if you can't see what they are. This seems like it should be a basic feature for an asset manager like Bridge.
