@BJET67 I can confirm this is still an issue, even when adding the launch options.

Definitely an upstream thing, testing this in Chromium also doesn't decode.

Should say H265 support might greatly depend on hardware acceleration, I don't know if H265 has software impl in Chromium. It definitely has in Firefox tho.

Edit: The previous link actually didn't decode in Firefox as well, I think MKV containers aren't supported by it. Although MP4 works fine in Firefox but still doesn't in Chrome/Chromium, just to prove my point.
