Hi, I’m reencoding some h.264 files with FFmpeg to h.265. The h.264 version would both play to any device and sync to our iPads just fine. The new h.265 version will play everywhere, over plex, on a Mac, directly on the iPad when copied there, but when I try to sync the files to the iPad it error…

HVEC/H265 files play fine but sync fails

Maybe you’ll find the following info useful in your case: Allow sync without transcoding
