In VLC 2.2.1, an MKV file fails to show video, playing audio OK.
Error message:
Codec `hevc' (MPEG-H Part2/HEVC (H.265)) is not supported.
http://pastebin.com/7duQbH6S has the verbose debug log.
Hardware is a Lenovo T410, with a Core i5 CPU M 560 @ 2.67GHz and i915 Intel Graphics, running Mint Cinnamon 17.1 . I can see there's no 3D support for acceleration with the i915, but I do not see that 2D acceleration is not supported.
How may I resolve this?
How may I either resolve this, or find a video player which will play the video under Linux Cinnamon Mint 17.1 ?
vlc --list
show a decoder for x265? Perhaps your build of vlc/libavcodec doesn't have x265 support enabled? Not sure if libavcodec can be out of date if VLC is up to date, but it is worth checking.vlc --list
shows an HEVC/x265 demuxer, but I'm still not getting image, and the exact above error message.
