Cannot stream H265 content

[jmshrv]

Is it possible to watch H265 content without transcoding? H265 support in the client would be great since a lot of content is released in H265 now.

If I recall correctly, this just loads the WebUI, and at that point, there’s no browser (especially not Chromium) that supports H265 playback.

If this is to be expanded, we’d need to implement a custom media player for that.

I think eventually this client may go away in favour of another, but I’d have to confirm.

This is actually possible if Electron is built with bundled ffmpeg under the hood... but that is for the bravest of hearts to do.

@JustAMan I'll give that a go on the weekend unless I actually have to modify Electron's source code :)

@UnicornsOnLSD any update on this?

I never actually got around to trying @JustAMan 's fix and I can't now since I don't have a server anymore. I just used Kodi with the Jellyfin plugin instead.
