Steps to reproduce:

I uploaded h265 MPEG-4 video to https://github.com/trakt-tools/universal-trakt-scrobbler/issues/251#issue-1530699476.

Actual results:

The video was unable to play in VLC and Fenix despite being readable from other software that supported the codec.

Expected results:

The video should have played, or at least Fenix should have stated why it was unplayable and provided an intent that when invoked would play the video in a separate video player. None of this would be difficult whatsoever to implement.

:cpeterson, could you have a look please?

08xjcec48, thanks for finding the duplicate bugs. I'll close this bug. Mozilla has no plans to support H.265/HEVC video in Firefox Android or desktop.
