Most hardware video players (like Raspberry pi etc) can't decode H.265 using hardware acceleration, a RPi 2 (haven't testen RPi3) does not have enough computational power to play a FHD H.265 at 24FPS.

Until hardware H.265 decoding is introduced to the popular media center hardware, H.264 will remain the codec of choice for most people.

Might never happen, thanks to netvc.

Not an "issue", but an effort, backed by many high profile players, not least Google, Mozilla, and Cisco, to create an open, free, alternative: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NETVC
