HLS streams normally only plays on compatible devices (iPad, iPhone, Safari web browser on Mac and new versions of Android), but FV Player is able to play it on any browser with Flash. That way you can use a HLS stream and cover all the desktop computer users with Firefox, Chrome (Chromium), Opera and other browser. Only thing needed is a correct cross domain policy (crossdomain.xml) for the HLS stream. Check the above guide for details.

HLS Stream With H265 and H264 Codecs
The above video is encoded with H.265 codec for the 1080p quality and H.264 for 360p quality. So you can tell what you are getting.
The video was encoded with AWS MediaConvert where you have to pick the CMAF output type with Segmented Files.
That way your H265 stream will work on iOS and Safari, like on iPad 6th generation.
