Typically opdenkamp only responds sporadically to libcec issues.
Every few months there is a flurry of activity where issues get responded to and PRs get merged and then quiet again.
Not much can be done now except make sure there is enough evidence of the problem and the solution so it will get resolved next update.
It's up to Milhouse and LE and OSMC etc whether they carry fixes before they are merged by libcec.

Hevc h265 8bit files are SW decoded on Pi; hardware decoding is not possible.
FYI, both above mentioned samples (alps & test1) play OK on slightly overclocked Pi3 with SW decoding. Test1 video is more processor demanding, all cores 60-80% as opposed to "alps" which plays with cores 20-40%.
I guess that you need to overclock your Pi2 to get hevc playback
