Play HEVC video format in VLC player Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa



VLC out of the box does not play HEVC files. To fix this we need to install libde265 via PPA, which is an open source implementation of the h.265 video codec.

Open up the Terminal and run the commands below:

  • sudo apt-add-repository ppa:strukturag/libde265 
  • sudo apt-get update 
  • sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-libde265 

VLC should now play these media files.

    Cannot add PPA. This PPA does not support trusty.
    Fresh 17.3 install
