Where is the plugin for H.265/HEVC?

[Peter_T_]

Hello,

Envrionment: Windows 10. Intel Media SDK 2016.0.2

I have been using the Media SDK for decoding H.264 video. It works great. Now, I need to decoded H.265 video. This seems to be just one line change in the source code. However, when run, I get the following error:

plugin_loader.h :166 [ERROR] Failed to load plugin from GUID, sts=-9: { 0x15, 0xdd, 0x93, 0x68, 0x25, 0xad, 0x47, 0x5e, 0xa3, 0x4e, 0x35, 0xf3, 0xf5, 0x42, 0x17, 0xa6 } (Intel (R) Media SDK plugin for HEVC DECODE)
Default plugin cannot be loaded (possibly you have to define plugin explicitly) 

Strange. The same code works great for H.264 but seems to require a plugin for H.265. Is there something I am missing? Where is this plugin anyway?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Yes. MSDK supports in box with most codecs. however, HEVC support is under downloading an additional plug in. 

You can look in the getting started and release notes to find where to get the plug in and how to use it.
