Fresh install of Fedora 41 on my ThinkPad P14s and I have all the codecs installed but cant seem to play ‘hevc’ format.
The error message in mpv is: Failed to initialize a decoder for codec 'hevc'.
Package "openh264-2.4.1-2.fc41.x86_64" is already installed.
Package "mozilla-openh264-2.4.1-2.fc41.x86_64" is already installed.
Package "svt-vp9-libs-0.3.0-12.fc41.x86_64" is already installed.

HEVC is H.265, so you need to install the codec for that.
HEVC corresponds to ‘x265’ and ‘x265-libs’. Have you installed them?
Anyway, I installed the following:
dnf install libavcodec-freeworld gstreamer1-vaapi gstreamer1-plugins-base gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-good-extras gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free gstreamer1-libav gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld gstreamer1-plugins-ugly gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 pipewire-gstreamer svt-vp9-libs x265 x265-libs
I did not have rpmfusion set up properly and had to re-do it. These packages now allow me to watch the videos. Thank you
Added h265, multimedia, video-codecs
