Recently i was searching to install all the codec required for a high quality or any type of video to play
but cant find any good source to download the coded packs
although the default media player VLC comes with all the codec pack
i want to install more manually
anyone have idea how to install those ?
There is no real need for such a thing on Linux. Most codecs are already available and pulled in by dependencies or otherwise embedded.
If there is a specific codec that is missing for you, please let us know what it is and we can help you find a solution.
can i have av1 codec and all the HEVC codec that needs to be installed on my system
cause on windows AV1 and HEVC were running like a butter
but here i cant run those
It probably isn’t codecs you are missing but drivers.
Can you share the output of inxi -Fxxxz
i am new here !!
can you elaborate it ?
Open a terminal and type: inxi -Fxxxz
Then copy the output from the terminal and paste it in the forum.

Done sir !!
Does it work for you now?
If not, can you explain how you are testing?
testing by watching one drama which have AV1
HEVC is running but its lagging soo
How are you testing?
i downloaded the drama and then i played it in VLC media player
which comes default on this os
previously it was running smoothly and better on windows
but in this EndeavourOS its lagging
Can you try testing with haruna instead?
sudo pacman -S haruna
works as butter
thank you sir for suggesting this !!!
but i need something !!
will create a new topic for that
maybe you can help me in that too !!
