Added new patch. libswscale will be loaded dynamically on Linux for H.265/HEVC 10/12-bit. Playback will not fail for other formats if it is not present. Windows should play other formats without "HEVC Video Extensions" without any issues. Same for macOS. Following MediaException will be thrown on Linux if libswscale is not present. Output is from FXMediaPlayer.
onError: MediaException: PLAYBACK_ERROR : [com.sun.media.jfxmediaimpl.platform.gstreamer.GSTMediaPlayer at a88d9ab] ERROR_MISSING_LIBSWSCALE: ERROR_MISSING_LIBSWSCALE
