Codec For Vlc ((new)): Install Hevc

VLC Media Player usually does not require you to install external HEVC (H.265) codecs because it comes with built-in support for the format

1. Go to Tools > Preferences.
2. Select the Video tab.
3. In the "Output" dropdown menu, change "Automatic" to XVideo output (XCB) or OpenGL video output.
4. Restart VLC. This forces VLC to handle the decoding pipeline differently, often bypassing driver incompatibilities that cause black screens in HEVC files.

If a new version is available, follow the prompts to download and install it. install hevc codec for vlc
