Summary	0014618: Add support for detection and playback of HEVC H.265 format via third-party codecs
Description	We need to add detection of H.265 video stream format (profiles and levels should be detected too). Currently user e.g. cannot set this format as supported for devices, cannot use in auto-conversion rules, etc.

michal 2018-01-17 18:36 developer ~0049535	Fixed in build 1865. MP4 and MKV plugins can read H265 format info now. Currently we support Version 1 profiles only, I did not find any SW, which can produce profiles from newer specifications (Version 2 - 4), to be improved in the future.

rusty 2019-01-10 23:13 administrator ~0052026	MM5 should be able to recognize H265, but as explained in #13158, playback should not be supported (at this time) from within MM5 or the codec pack. Instead, it should link to an HEVC-capable third-party HEVC codec. Options are: https://www.fosshub.com/LAV-Filters.html (free, but third party and may not be trusted by all users) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/hevc-video-extensions-from-device-manufacturer/9n4wgh0z6vhq?activetab=pivot:overviewtab (free from MS) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/hevc-video-extensions/9nmzlz57r3t7?activetab=pivot:overviewtab (costs .$99) I'll create an addon entry for HEVC, and include both the MS and LAV options. On a related point, the LAV filter includes support for: AC3, everything supported by the FFDshow Codec Pack, and MP2. Michal, can you confirm that: - the LAV filter should be used with MM5 instead of https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/ffdshow-codec-pack/ ? - whether the https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/haali-media-splitter/ is still required for MM5 ? Peke, can you confirm that the LAV filter can be used with MM5 instead of: https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/ac3-filter/ for AC3 https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/mp2/ for MP2 Once you provide the info, I'll update the codec links for MM5.
