H265 video support in VLC:

  1. Follow https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia
  2. Then install libavcodec-freeworld: dnf install libavcodec-freeworld
  3. Install VLC from RPM Fedora Linux. Not flatpak! The flatpak version doesn’t work with this!

HEIC support in Gnome Image Preview and Nautilus (make sure to follow the above first):

  1. dnf install libheif-freeworld
  2. dnf install heif-thumbnailer
  3. (optional) dnf install ffmpegthumbnailer (get thumbnails in Nautilus also for MP4, MOV etc.)
  4. Log out/in
  5. (optional) rm -rf ~/.cache/thumbnails (to recreate thumbnails for already viewed files)

Convert HEIC to JPEG (in fish shell):

for file in *.HEIC
   heif-convert $file
end
