Re:C260 H264 Codec

I recently purchased a Tapo C260, and noticed that the 4K resolution currently runs only in H.265. I need the main stream to support H.264 so it can display properly in Home Assistant (viewed on Firefox). Could you please provide the same solution you offered to other users who had this issue, by enabling H.264 through a firmware update?

Also looking and will be sending an email after posting this needing H264 on the main stream for my C260.

 

Want it for Synology and testing with TinyCamPro it's not able to stream H265 on some older hardware and switches to SW decoding and has 98% dropped frames. Has no problems on the secondary H264 stream.
