Play x265 encoded videos.

Hi Riton,

I have test this for you files where from here: http://www.libde265.org/downloads-videos/
out of the box it doesn't work with Audience (Videos)

when u post these lines in terminal
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:strukturag/libde265 && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libde265

it will work. i have test it with sintel and elephants dream

Thank you for your reply. As suggested, installed gstreamer1.0-libde265 on my computer, downloaded the Big buck bunny video (102mb) from http://www.libde265.org/downloads-videos/ and played it on Audience which gave me this attached bug (Bug #1443118). Please look into it and let me know what else can I do to play x265 encoded videos on my computer. Thank you for you help.

Oh i have test it with only full hd films.
i will try could you also try sintel from that website 152mb version?
i going to try it on 2 differend systems i hope i can reproduce it

What i found was that audience had performance issues with this gstreamer library.
But this is the only library that can play h.265 files so i have been looking for a alternative.

What i found was that a AMD A6 cpu (quad core 2.5ghz) was to slow in audience to handle this.
All the 4 cores would shoot up to 100% and never leave only when u close audience
So you need to have a very fast computer to be able to watch those kind of videos with that codex.
This has to do with the none support from amd and nvidia on the graphics section.
Only intel has a better support for h.264 hardware acceleration. and the h.265 codex benefits from that .

With vlc and vlc-plugin-libde265 it was durable to watch the videos.
So i would suggest to install vlc and that plugin. for the best view experience.

Terminal command are: sudo apt-get install vlc && sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-libde265

And that plugin come from this PPA ppa:strukturag/libde265
Only when u have added this ppa u are able to download that plugin

Well, my computer has a dual core Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 CPU (2.1 Ghz) with 4gb RAM and a basic video card.
I tried to play Sintel (1080p) in Audience as you suggested. The video magically played this time but only for a few seconds, after which it crashed.
I've installed everything from ppa:strukturag/libde265 and vlc on my computer, but vlc crashes as soon as I attempt to play any X265 video.
I've also tried using GNOME MPlayer and SMPlayer, both of which only outputs the audio but no video with x265 videos.
The only player that managed to play these videos properly is the Kodi Media Center, but somehow it crashes on playing something x264 without fail.
Thank you for your help.
I'm not sure if this issue can be marked as "Solved" as Audience still cannot play x265 encoded videos on my computer, so I'm keeping the status "open" for now.

It's to bad to hear but i am afraid that your computer isn't suited to play these movies.
Because they need hardware acceleration build in, in your processor.
I will make a bug report for you because leaving a question open does nothing to developer.

What i think they will do is whislist the bug because they can not include all codex's .

For others who have the same problem pleas try the 2 solutions which are provided earlier first.
