Issues Download X265 codec

[JoelyMoley]

Hey Team, still having issues downloading the x265 codec after the hash issue a few days ago, deleted the codec folder from my ubuntu PMS but when trying to download the x265 codec

attempting to download manually to the codec folder gives me a 403 forbidden error.

I also have this issue since upgrading.
I have manged to get some of the codecs and install them manually so x264 works but x265 does not.

however the rest elude me. Running a filed that forces a re-code does not work if you cannot start the file.

managed to get it going jann, just run:

wget https://downloads.plex.tv/codecs/e613bce-97f23d579c1001d8e9cc0d2e/linux-x86_64-standard/libhevc_decoder.so

@JoelyMoley

rd/libhevc_decoder.so

thanks for that, oddly enough I tried that as well but was getting a 403 error.
Seems to work now.

For anyone else who stumbles across this.
I used wget to put those (at the time of writing 5) files into your “config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Codecs/e613bce-97f23d579c1001d8e9cc0d2e-linux-x86_64” directory and chmod +x all of the .so files.

I am using the docker container. I had to chmod them and restart the container before they would work. your mileage may vary good look future questers
