Is it possible to convert videos from h264 to h265 within libreelec on raspberry 4?
I tried with tools.ffmpeg-tools with syntax ffmpeg -i sample.mkv -c:v libx265 sample.mp4
but I get error Unknown encoder 'libx265'
rpi4 convert recordings to h265

it is possible but the RPi is rather low end so you we are likely talking about days to encode a single file
currently we don't ship the x265 encoder at arm because its rather useless
-
I use an AMD 5950X to encode stuff with in Handbrake, I dread to think how long some of the jobs would take an RPi4
Also for <=1080p files H.264 is still often optimal for filesize/quality compared to H.265.

I would appreciate if libx265 was bundled to enable ffmpeg encoding. It would be useful at least for shorter phone taken videos to fix the rotation issue. Would it be a big deal to include the encoder even if rpi4 will need certain time to perform the re-encoding (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=368787)?
