Currently, HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) requires the content to be video H.264 and/or AAC/MP3/sound.
Is there support for H.265/HEVC for HLS in iOS 9? If not, is there any way to bypass this limitation and use TS files that are H.265 encoded?

1There is no documentation, so you just have to try it and see. Remember it will only work on phones with the HEVC decoder. 6 has one, but it was disabled, and I doubt it will be enabled vis a software upgrade due to licensing. 6s supposedly can play HEVC in MP4. So I would think 6s will do HLS HEVC. but you never know with apple. – szatmary Sep 28 '15 at 00:41

Have you tried playing the stream with VLC? VLC has supported H.265 since iOS 7 I believe. – Æðelstan Nov 18 '15 at 04:50
