Can JRiver play x265 (HEVC codec) files?
-
If your CPU is fast enough, then yes, it can.
-
When I play x265 video file there is no video, but there is audio. My CPU is Intel i5 3210M 2,5 GHz. Video settings mode is Red October standard.
Any thoughts?
-
Which version of MC are you using?
Please update to 19.0.108 at the top of the board if you haven't already, since its a relatively new addition.
Please note that only HEVC files of the final specification are supported. If you have a rather old file which was encoded with a pre-release version of the HEVC specification, it may not work.
-
hi, the same thing happens for me when i play h265 content as well.
no video, only audio.
i am on 19.0.108
please advise.
thanks

All I can tell you is that those VALID HEVC files play just perfectly here.
Please ensure that you are using Red October Standard or Red October HQ, and not a custom mode.
Here is a test file from DivX of the open Tears of Steel short-film, which I've confirmed to work perfectly:

Considering that basically all HEVC files which exist in the world are test files at this point, I would wager that you simply have a broken file.
-
Hendrik, if one's CPU is NOT fast enough, would you expect audio only? That's what I get: i3 530 plus 450GTS
-
Nah, just terribly stuttering video I imagine.
I just tested on my test system with a completely vanilla install of MC19, just installed yesterday, and the sample I linked above plays perfectly, so not sure what to tell ya. :)
What does the "Streams" menu in the context menu say when you don't get any image? Does it say "hevc"?
-
I'm an audio only MC user...but just for yuks, I enabled "video" ...downloaded the test video...it played perfectly.
I left all video settings as they were in default.
running MC 19 .108

hey thanks!
this one works. i supposed the file i played must've been broken or of an older spec or something.
-
but i have to add, i tried playing the 'broken' file on VLC and it played fine
strange

I was just being absent-minded. I clicked on the link instead of downloading the video and playing it in MC. Once I did that, it played flawlessly, which was surprising. I had tried an excerpt of that video before and it was a disaster.
-
Shouldn't MC's OSD report the file playing at 50% zoom on a 1080p screen? It says 100%.
-
Its a 1080p file, so why? :)
-
Wow, I am so out of it. I saw HEVC and automatically thought UHD, especially after the caption early in the clip that starts "This UHD..."
-
You're not the only one that made that mistake. ;D
-
It sure looked nice on my TV. :)
I tried playing the first bridge scene in actual UHD a few weeks ago. It was disasterous.
-
What an odd, but strangely compelling clip :)
If this is a glimpse of the future of video/film. give me more NOW!!! Looked great on my Panny 65VT30.
Oh and played flawlessly on build 19.0.111.
