Mageia forum

Hi all,
i trying to use new codec x265 on my Mga4. I builded and installed codec follow wiki instructions but when i try to open media with vlc or other player it isn't recognized.

I should rebuild players ?

The player need support for x265, you need to enable that and also rebuild players against x265.
E.g. for vlc that would be --enable-x265 - although vlc supports decoding only since version 2.1.1 (encoding even before).
Check e.g. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n ... px=MTQ2NDM

I'll see if we can get it enabled for Mageia 5 in vlc.

Seems for vlc you would at least need 2.2.0 or version 3 from git to be able to enable x265 support.
