Description
Hi,
currently it's not possible to play videos with codec H265. (Buffering issues, black screen on web ui etc.)
After changing in the camera settings the format to "maximal compatibility" instead of "high efficiency" the playback works fine.
When will be the codec "H265" supported?

Research direction
The issue reports buffering and black-screen failures for H265 video, while playback works after switching the camera from “high efficiency” to “maximal compatibility.” No files or tests are identified; start by reproducing H265 playback in the iOS app and trace the video playback path, with support confirmed when these videos play reliably.
