I found that too but being able to decode it 95% of the time was not useful because you have to redownload in another format if it turns out your RPI3 can't play a specific file.

I just avoided HEVC but I ultimately stopped using an RP3 as a TV because of audio timing issues that became apparent with Dolby Atmos. I now use a Odroid N2+, which I recommend.
