Tsxop · Banana Pi BPI-M5 can't play H.265 videos Tsxop August 20, 2025 at 7:23 PM

The problem was not related to add-ons.

I've disable hardware acceleration, I can now play mp4 H264 and H265, thanks for help.

The problem came from H264 file RE: Banana Pi BPI-M5 can't play H.265 videos which resolution is Width : 720 pixels Height : 540 pixels with Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC

I've never played 4K HEVC files only 1080p max.

Thanks for answer I understand that "4K 10-bit HEVC file and that will fail"

Maybe if I find some time to install it, but I preferred using LibreElec which
is already installed.

Do you think that can came from bad settings ?

The add-on does not seems to be banned ?

I'm playing a mkv file directly from filesystem not from add-ons.

I've also tried to disable all add-ons installed : same issue.

Thanks for answer.

I've seen that H.264 cannot be played.

Do you have any solution to play them ?

Another information I've forgotten, I've restored a backup from RPI3 to BananaPI M5.
