Message-ID<De39f-6SA-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
   How can I convince Bullseye's VLC to read/play H265 videos?

   I have various h265 CODECS installed and other sources on the net report 
than VLC can play these files -- but not Bullseye's VLC.

   Can anyone whack me with a clue-bat? TIA.

Works out of the box on mine. Played H265 4K no problem. What is the
error you're getting?

"I have various h265 CODECS installed"
VLC does not require any codecs to work, what do you mean by that?

   VLC doesn't give an error, it just endlessly tries loading and reloading 
the file (a video from a security camera).

   I'm guessing it's some oddity in the file format produced by the cheap 
Chinese security camera. Purportedly ffmpeg can convert the file to another more 
common format; that's my next step to deal with the issue.

   That was me foolishly installing various CODECs in the hope it might help.

If VLC is not hard requirement then you can try SMPlayer/mpv or mpv only.

Kind regards

I had a similar issues with a camera and its H264 files. The fix I
found was to make sure the camera was set to CBR not VBR (constant vs
variable bit rate).
