How to Play H.265 Video Files in Kodi

Kodi has become one of the most popular ways to watch TV and movies. With the growth of smaller PCs, on-demand streaming and downloadable content, it has never been simpler to bring your favourite flicks into your living room, and Kodi is possibly the best way to do it. Got some new files in H.265 codec and wanna add them on your Kodi (originally known as XBMC - or 'Xbox Media Center')?  However, it seems a bit complicated as Kodi won't open 4K H.265 as expected.



Q1: H.265 video play terrible on kodi on ts451A

I have some H.265 video, I played them on kodi 16 & 17,but the frame droped terrible and video and voice didn't sync. I checked the cpu ocupy is 100%. I want to know if the ts451's cpu not strong enough or the kodi is not work proper for H.265. It's seem's that the hardware accelerate didn't work.

Q2: Android Box with h.265 hardware encoding issue

I have an android box right now that I purchased back in 2015 which works ok for my h.264 videos off of my nas. Putting together my archive has been great but my drive is starting to fill up so I have started converting the videos over to h.265 for Kodi and the results are good. I figure I will have at minimum 40% more space once they are converted.

Unfortunately my older Android Box doesn't decode the h.265 videos very well or good at all. I have been looking at newer generic boxes that support h.265 decoding some of them also have more memory and storage which should be good. However picking the correct CPU/GPU setup is difficult. I hope someone can give me some real world suggestions. Thanks a lot.

Q3: Looking for a streaming bo supports H265

As the title suggests I'm looking for a replacement for my trusted WDTV. Been using it for years now. Very reliable. But with the H.265 and new stuff coming out need to upgrade. 

I'm looking for a simple box that supports h265 and h264 and other video codecs as well as audio codecs like Dolby AAX and dts. Just wanna play my tv shows and movies that I download. Streaming from Kodi would be a big plus. 

Q4: Kodi stutters (badly) when playing HEVC content  

Kodi stutters unbearably when playing any HEVC content. All drivers on my system are up to date, and Kodi is set to run with the Nvidia GPU (optimus system). I can also confirm that hardware-acelerated decode is both enabled (in Kodi) and is working with HEVC (using DXVA Checker's trace mode). Is there any other way to see what the problem might be? The stutter is so bad, Kodi hangs up momentarily and then resumes playback choppily up to a point, then resumes again.

Isn't it possible to play 4K H.265 on Kodi? Yes, Kodi (version 14 onwards) offers decoding support for HEVC. (Refer to Kodi HEVC support here) However, lag, out of sync and drop frames issues still exist when playing. Worse still, if your streaming box or devices support HEVC hardware decoding, or have too low power SoCs to support smooth software playback, you will still fail to copy H.265 videos to Kodi for watching.

See the below limitations:

1. The Intel Celeron N3060 (Braswell) has limited GPU decoding support of x256

2. Only 8bit and not 10bit are supported

https://communities.intel.com/thread/59216?tstart=0

3. Streaming Boxes and Console Support

Here's a quick rundown of popular media playing devices that don't support HEVC:
  • Google's Chromecast (first and second generations)  
  • Apple TV (although some reports suggest 1080p HEVC playback is possible by running VLC on a 4th-gen model)  
  • Roku (third-gen models and earlier)  
  • Amazon Fire TV (2014) and Fire TV Stick  
  • Any Western Digital WD TV products  
  • All PlayStation consoles (including PS4 Pro)  
  • Xbox 360
And here are the media players that do support HEVC:
  • Roku 4  
  • Amazon Fire TV (2015) and 2nd-gen Fire TV Stick  
  • Xbox One
In this situations, to add and view H.265 files on Kodi, the easy workaround is convert H.265 to a more common video format like MP4, MKV, AVI, MPG, etc.. Actually, it is not so hard as you image. What you need is just a common video converter like Dimo Video Converter Ultimate is a great H.265 tool to help you out.

Hassle-free Solution to Rip Blu-ray to Apple TV with Utmost Quality

It does not matter weather you have cut-the-cable entirely, are a part-time streamer, or hide in the back-bedroom during the holidays to get your Hulu fix, everyone wants to watch hot contents during the holidays! For me and my family, the second installment in The Hunger Games film series, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is a holiday must. So let's start with watching The Hunger Games (2) Blu-ray through Apple TV (4) on HDTV using a simple workflow. 

"We were going on skiing holiday and my wife wanted to watch the movie "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" whilst we are away. I had a bluray only copy (no digital or DVD) so was looking for a way to digitize Blu-ray for playback on HDTV though Apple TV. Any suggestion?" 

 

Most people's first thought upon playing The Hunger Games Blu-ray on Apple TV 4/3/2/1 is to stream/AirPlay/mirror Blu-ray to Apple TV 4 from PC or Mac, which however has some limits and will be explained later. Some say use VLC media player, which should works but I have never tried it myself. 

In fact, to play The Hunger Games Blu-ray on Apple TV, you should keep a few things in mind: As the newly released commercial Blu-ray disc, The Hunger Games 2 Blu-ray discs are protected with region codes and layers of digital rights management, including AACS, and BD+, etc. A common Blu-ray player or drive can't read Blu-ray information. 

However, ATV does not include a drive for playing The Hunger Games Blu-ray. Apple TV supports MOV, MP4, and M4V in H.264 or MPEG-4 codec. As your Blu-ray isn't supported by Apple TV, the ultimate solution sseems to be to rip The Hunger Games Blu-ray to Apple TV (4), to some extent. At this point, we recommend Dimo Video Converter Ultimate, the best Blu-ray ripper for home and office use. 

OS: Windows 98, NT, 2000, 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10

How to convert and stream The Hunger Games Blu-ray to Apple TV 

NOTE: Anywhere from 30 to 60 GB of hard disk space is needed depending on what you're ripping. Blu-Rays are big, and we're going to rip the whole thing to our drive first, so depending on the movie you're ripping and the quality you want in your final movie file, you'll need a good amount of space. 

1. Insert your The Hunger Games Blu-ray Blu-ray disc to the Blu-ray Disc drive, then launch The Hunger Games Blu-ray Blu-ray Ripper and click the "Add Blu-ray" button to have the blu-ray content imported.

(Check TV supported format first) 

3. Click the "Settings" icon, and you can adjust codec, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate and audio channel in the interface according to your needs and optimize the output file quality. 

 

Note: By choosing this format, you will get two sound tracks in the result MP4 video, one is stereo, and the other is AC3 encoded Dolby Digital 5.1 pass-through by setting channels to 6. When your Apple TV is connected to audio receiver, the 5.1 surround sound will work. When ATV is connected to your HDTV only, the stereo track will work. 

Since ATV 4 supports Dolby Digital 7.1 while Apple TV 3 supports 5.1, you can also rip Blu-ray to multi-track MP4 for ATV 4. Or if you want to compress The Hunger Games Blu-ray to a video more suitable for watching, you can down scale the video size and video bitrae. 

4. Press the big "Start" button at the bottom of the main interface to convert Blu-ray to MP4 for Apple TV. You've made it. This professional Blu-ray to Apple TV Converter really never lets you down during the work. 

After the conversion, get the outputs to add to your iTunes library or sync to Apple TV for playback at ease. Just enjoy. For mac users, here are ways for streaming to ATV on Mac:

Step 1. Open iTunes and add the ripped Blu-ray video to iTunes by File -> Add file to library 
Step 2. Connect your Mac and Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi. 
Step 3. Click AirPlay icon (besides volume slider) and select Apple TV to enable the Blu-ray to Apple TV streaming. 
Step 4. And then you can watch The Hunger Games Blu-ray on Apple TV 4/3/2/1. 

Note: Blu-ray video to Apple TV 4 AirPlay requires iTunes 10.1 and superior, OS X Mountain Lion and later. Despite the fact it has HDMI 1.4 UHD video output on the back, Apple TV 4 does not allow 4K video streaming or AirPlay. For AirPlay 4K Blu-ray video to Apple TV 4 on both Mac and Windows, rip or compress them at first. 

Mirror Blu-ray to Apple TV 4 

Step 1. Play Blu-ray on Mac using an external Blu-ray drive (if needed) and 3rd-party Blu-ray player. 

* Blu-rays played back with default Apple players cannot be mirrored

Step 3. Check "AirPlay Display" settings in system preference on Mac. Make sure it is enabled. 

Step 4. Click AirPlay button and select Apple TV. 

Step 5. Tap the AirPlay button again and choose "Mirror Built-in Display". Then you will be able to watch The Hunger Games Blu-ray Blu-ray videos on Apple TV/4.

It may take you a while to realize that most Blu-rays cannot be played on Apple TV 4 via mirroring, due to copyright issues, making Blu-ray rip to Apple TV a necessary step.
