Hey folks, just switched from OE to LE after being a happy OE user for a couple of years. Long live LIBREelec!
Neither OE nor LE will play h265 on my pi2 without a lot of frame drop. All other video plays perfectly.
Any thoughts or tips? Should I buy a decoder license like on the rpi1?
Many thanks.
Cleggy.
on my pi3 all my .265 files have out of sync audio issues. probably just not enough processing power.
None of the Raspberrys have a hardware decoder for h265, so there is no license you could buy. With a RPi3 and the current LE build you can watch some (low quality) h265 videos. If you really want to watch high quality h265 videos a Raspberry simply won't do.

The Raspbery Pi has not enough processing power for h.265. And there is no license available for h.265.
You will need a processor with hardware h.265 decoder, or just a fast processor. The RPi is just not good enough.
Most recent Intel processors have a h.265 decoder. I use a Celeron n3150, but a Celeron n3000 is also good.
Alternatively, an Odroid C2 could be a good replacement once the bugs are finally squashed.
Many thanks for the advice friends. I shall reencode the file on my PC. Is handbrake still the best open option?

Yes, Handbrake is the best.
