The README explains the login but never mentions that 1440p/HEVC needs 'Supported codecs' set to H.265 *and* library 3.0.3 or newer -- with an older library the add-on drops the codec request silently, so the setting appears to do nothing (reported in anxdpanic#712).

Documentation gap from #708: the README explains the login and the Turbo section, but never
mentions what is actually required to receive the 1440p/HEVC renditions.
Two things have to line up, and missing either one fails silently:
"Twitch default", requests no specific codec and yields H.264.
the library, not by this add-on. With an older library the request is dropped silently by the
feature detection in
api.pyand playback stays on H.264 whatever the setting says.That combination is what a user in #712 ran into: the setting looked right, the library was 3.0.2
from the repository, and 1440p was simply unreachable with no error anywhere.
Documentation only; the menu path was verified against the actual settings definition (the setting
lives in the General category).
