MacBook Pro 13 inch Early 2015 doesn't play HEVC

Hey


Does anybody know why my macbook pro doesn't play hevc video?

I shoot video with gopro hero 6 at 4k 60fps or 1080p 240fps and neither works on my computer.


I have seen a lot of answers that hevc video NO GREATER than 1080p 240fps won't play on my machine, but at even that same resolution it still won't work properly.


I have High Sierra installed.


What might be the problem?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.5)

so this describes your graphics subsystem:


Video Card: Iris Graphics 6100 VRAM Type: [Shared with System RAM]



Details: This model has an Intel Iris 6100 graphics processor that shares memory with the system.


NO GREATER than 1080p 240fps won't play on my machine

what happens when you try to play at the minimum size/rate? any error messages? what is the exact wording of these?


what Application are you using to play?

We can play 20 questions over exactly what configuration and what is running on your Mac, but it would be much easier if you could download and run this little non-invasive and completely self-contained "discovery" utility. "Share" and post its report, which has no personally-identifiable information included. This should be really easy -- if you find yourself having to do screenshots, you are doing it wrong.

Your samsung phone extensions install did not go well. There are four copies of the user login item loaded:

You have some leftover parts from teamviewer or parts missing:

Clean up:

/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.teamviewer.teamviewer_service.plist

these can be removed by Etrecheck if you ask while it is running, or you can hunt them down by hand.


You have too many things that "phone home". in particular, a Bit Torrent is a two way connection -- you may be providing software from your Mac to others without any further discussions about it.

You do not appear to have a backup drive, or it is not attached. it is not really adequate to have only web backup -- you really need a local backup on a drive you control.

Doesn't matter if i play it with quicktime or vlc, the video is very choppy to say the least. Most of the time it displays only few first images and then there is only sound, video doesn't move, but sometimes it displays green artefacts.

No error messages, only not properly playing video.


So.. is my 1200euro computer just a paper weight?
