I am trying to play h265 videos in Ubuntu. I tried adding the strukturag/libde265 PPA, but I get the following error:

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:strukturag/libde265
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/mc3man/trusty-media/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Obviously, the PPA does not support my Ubuntu version.

So how do I play h265 videos o Ubuntu 22.04?

You will need the codecs, but whether you can smoothly play h265 will depend on the CPU.

First, remove the outdated with PPA sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:strukturag/libde265

Then, install all the necessary codecs with sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras.
