I downloaded a video with MKV format. but when i try to run it some error pops up then i realize encoding of this video is not supported for my media players. the format is HEVC x265. I search a lot and finally land a media player called 5kplayer. I check the official website of the player it supported windows and mac. but i can't find support for linux or ubuntu. Is there any way to install 5kplayer in ubuntu 14.04.

thank you in advance.

There is no official support for 5Kplayer in linux but you could use wine to install it in ubuntu.If u just want to play HEVC files you can use vlc which is natively supported in ubuntu.To install vlc

sudo apt-get install vlc && sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-libde265
