Hi, I have the same as you, but I AM able to play h.265 in krypton without issue. I have no toggle, but don't need it.
Let me know when you figure out what you are missing in your post, and I will update my post.

Kodi 17 can play HEVC video on Mac under the condition that your Mac has a hardware that decodes HEVC codec.
HEVC Playback Supported Hardware
Most desktop hardware released in 2015, and most mobile hardware from late 2014 onwards, supports dedicated HEVC playback. Here’s a quick rundown of well-known hardware that includes dedicated HEVC decoding blocks, which definitely support efficient HEVC playback:
Intel 6th-generation ‘Skylake’ Core processors or newer
AMD 6th-generation ‘Carizzo’ APUs or newer
AMD ‘Fiji’ GPUs (Radeon R9 Fury/Fury X/Nano) or newer
Nvidia GM206 GPUs (GeForce GTX 960/950) or newer
Other Nvidia GeForce GTX 900 series GPUs have partial HEVC hardware decoding support
Qualcomm Snapdragon 805/615/410/208 SoCs or newer. Support ranges from 720p decoding on low-end parts to 4K playback on high-end parts.
Nvidia Tegra X1 SoCs or newer
Apple A8 SoCs or newer
Some MediaTek SoCs from mid-2014 onwards

If it is an AMLogic box it will be a Firmware issue for sure.
Early Android Marshmallow AML Firmware had HEVC(H265) playback issues when using Kodi 17 and Mediacodec.
That has all been fixed in later updates of MM Firmware.
Kodi cannot help with Android Firmware issues - see the manufacturer / box seller or the Frektab website or simply use LibreELEC Kodi Krypton if it is an AML S905 box.
