MG 2.2 How to switch XFMG Video encoder from H.264 to H.265?

[rdn]

For disk space saving, I would like to transcode all videos to H.265.
Forget about compatibility with client devices

Which file specifically I need to modify on the XFMG source?
Thanks.

Is this enough?

Maybe this one edit is already enough?

I suspect so but I haven’t tested it.

The other changes may be required if you want to detect if a video is already encoded in h265 and therefore skip transcoding but tbh I would transcode all videos which there is an option for. The transcoding process would probably still bring the size of the h265 videos and others down regardless of whether we deem them compatible.

I know client compatibility isn't your primary concern, but what's your use case for this with most devices not natively supporting this format? Are most of your members just downloading the videos off the MG?

I didn't implemented it on Live site as almost all browser doesn't support playing the H.265 videos.
