Description:

Kodi has stopped playing HEVC x265 videos with the latest update. It used to play earlier (14.2-3) before I did a system update today. I suppose the trouble comes from the dependency on ffmpeg introduced in this package upgrade.


Additional info:

package version: 14.2-4


Steps to reproduce:

Try to play any HEVC x265 video...
