4k video files - Xperia M5

Everything is fine with the recording. I can see the 4k videos in my phone with no problems. The problems arise when I get the 4k videos out of it.
I first tried to play them in my computer using VLC and it didn't work well, so I used another program to successfully play them. I figured out that it was all because of the HEVC encoding that the phone uses. Strangely, I tried to play the phone's 4k videos in my 4k tv (HEVC capable). It didn't work. I thought it was my TV's problem, so I downloaded another HEVC video and it did play just fine in the tv.

What's different about the 4k video files that this phone produce? I downloaded another 4k video from another Xperia M5 and it still didn't play. So what's exactly different with the files?

Thanks.

Hey man. Im sure this is not the ideal solution but you can convert them from h.265 to h.264 with this program. I had videos of me playing with my band and i was so sad i couldnt get them out of my phone but with this you can.
