Addresses the desire to prefer codecs from the client. Some clients perform better with particular codecs put above, for instance the device has hardware decoding capabilities for it. Unfortunately there is no reliable way to query this in the frontend. Now we can set a cookie 'video_codecs_prio' with strings of codecs we want the order of importance. The cookie can contain codecs separated by a space. For instance 'vp8 h.264' to get those codecs first for an old 2014 laptop that has only hw support for these codecs. Supported codecs are the distinct ones in short_name in models.transcoding_types: vp9 vp8 h.264 After this works well in production, I can deside to build a user- friendly settings page.
