Oh the good old days of suffering from a distro based on the US that has to follow the stupid laws of software patents and problems coming from all that shit.
One of the top reasons to use Arch when I started because of the pragmatic approach of do not giving a fuck.

That’s one reason why Flathub exists and definitively much easier than to migrate to Arch.
You want
gstreamer1-plugin-libavfrom rpmfusion.already have it
Libav is wrapper for ffmpeg in gstreamer. You need h265 in ffmpeg now.
ffmpeg has a native decoder, would be odd for them to not enable it.
Didn’t some distro remove hardware transcoding support for some non-free codecs for AMD hardware? I remember being really pissed at Manjaro for that a while ago when I noticed Plex was devouring my CPU. Maybe something related to that if you got AMD and hardware acceleration is forced?
Avoid distribution eccentricities by istalling VLC from Flathub.
I had this problem, but after not being able to resolve it I tried Bazzite and found the gaming experience was much better there anyway, so switched. This problem doesn’t exist on that distro.
I’m not sure what player you are using and what decoder it uses, but I suggest checking if you have h265 support in ffmpeg. If you do, you can play with ffplay anyway :)
Just use VLC, problem solved
Cause Linux is trash
