Hello!
Haven't tried 2.2.4 in Windows yet, but even in the version just prior to that, playing H.265 in VLC was, at best, a hit-or-miss proposition. Do what you feel to be best, I suppose...

We have the H265 files in the LL repo for Series 2.x.
Code:
sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-libde265 libde265
They WILL play HEVC files, if they don't, you have a separate issue.
If you don't have a powerful , modern computer, the video files simply won't play. They require a lot of horsepower.
If you're on 2.8, chances are these files are already installed. Stay clear of the PPA you posted.

Thanks. My computer is neither modern nor especially powerful. It's a 4 year old build so it's "ancient".
I'll stick with x264 movies from now on (or at least until I build a new computer). It's done more than enough for me until this.
I have a 750w power supply, GeForce GTS 450 vid card and an AMD Phenom II cpu. Is there anything I could upgrade that might make it possible to play this format or would I need a completely new system?

IMO, no. You'll need to build a pc from scratch. Keep the PSU.

/sigh/ I guess it's time to start buying parts. Heck, it's way overdue anyway.
Thanks a heap.
