.h265x file cant be played by anything?

shlomikalfa · 25th June 2022, 06:30

Hi,

I'm using an IP software called VMS to download my IP camera videos, the extension is .h265x and it seems like nothing is playing it except for this player I've downloaded from a Russian website: General_Player_V1.7.0.0.T.20150929.exe

I've installed latest K-lite codec pack and tried using VLC and it doesn't seem to work

Uploaded a sample file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S9x...bvtq9PEWf/view

ANy idea?

Can you upload a small .h265x sample somewhere ?

Looks like some AVC (H.264) file with some proprietary stuff.

I stuffed it in some very error resilient decoder and got a short sequence with this before it gave up:

I will maybe investigate further, I kinda like poking around in streams.

so there:
https://github.com/rwillenbacher/h265x_repacker

Pushing the sample through this mp4box then says the following about the modified stream:

Code:

$ mp4box -add sample.h265x.264 -new test.mp4
Track Importing MPEG-4 AVC - Width 2304 Height 1296 FPS 48/4 SAR 0/0
AVC|H264 Import results: 13680 samples (14065 NALUs) - Slices: 116 I 13613 P 0 B - 0 SEI - 114 IDR
Saving test.mp4: 0.500 secs Interleaving

And the .mp4 file plays in VLC without problems.

Is there no single app that's working for these kind of files?
grrr!

I can't compile the github file...

Eh... Just mux the stream into the .mkv container using MKVtoolNixGUI...

takla · 20th July 2022, 03:13

Code:

ffmpeg -y -i input.h265x -map_metadata -1 -c:v copy -an output.mkv

Dummy instructions:

Get ffmpeg from here.
Extract with 7-zip, then move ffmpeg.exe (from the "bin" folder), a copy of cmd.exe and your videofile into the same folder.
Rename the video to "input".
Now open cmd.exe and paste the command from above.

(You can get cmd.exe by > search cmd in start menu > rightclick > open path to file > rightclick on the shortcut > open path to file (again) > rightclick > copy)

@takla
Thanks for the dummy instructions but that gives me:

Invalid data found when processing input

mkv tools works

thanks.

richardpl · 18th September 2022, 19:04

ffmpeg works too, if you are not extremely lazy and are skilled enough to type:

ffmpeg -f h264 -i input.file ......

rwill · 19th September 2022, 11:10

I am not so sure about using pure H.264 tools. The stream contains some sort of additional data that sometimes resembles H.264 start codes which may throw parsers off track.
