In my simple opinion, it was the PotPlayer using various external filters.
Now came the version with support for Hevc:
Taking advantage of this new support for Hevc, tested it to the extreme, where one coded sample of 3840x2160 via Hybrid and compared with the player MPC-BE 64Bit (1.2.1.0 - Build 3582 - MSVC 2010 SP1), and obtained the following results with DivX265 :Version History of the PotPlayer
----------------------------------------------------------
[1.5.40766] 2013/10/18
----------------------------------------------------------
+ Added support for HEVC(H.265) video format
- Added the ability to play HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) via FFmpeg
- Fixed seeking problem when playing AVCHD files
PotPlayer worked fine, no crashes or Slags.
MPC-BE rotated but began to catch every second of the sample. (Test no external filters).
PS: MPC-BE is a very good player and powerful, only for heavy files like this, WITH RESOLUTIONS UP TO 2560X1600 - limit the player, there is still a few tweaks to run cool.

Question: Which player would you recommend for playing files HEVC - H265 - DivX265?
Answer: The one that supports the files you have
Reasoning: not all containers and *muxing modes* are equally supported among the available options (sadly).
MPC-BE seems to be limited to H.265-in-MP4 only.
As for the latest PotPlayer --- could you please test it with the sample files
(HEVC in AVI, in MKV, in ASF)
that I uploaded to the x265.exe thread

<Portuguese>Não vale usar os filtros que funcionam com o MPC-HC,
nada de truques</Portuguese>
I can be wrong this time, but I think there won't be a good future for HEVC wrapped in the FLV containerLast edited by El Heggunte; 20th Oct 2013 at 16:21. Reason: add links

@ Marchand --- many Many MANY thanks for the exhaustive testing
For the curious: now LAV Filters have HEVC support (I've not tested this yet):

flv files encoded by me using Strongene Lentoid HEVC encoder and Monogram flv mux in graph studio, play perfectly OK in latest version of MPC-BE I downloaded. I do have the Lentoid HEVC decoder installed.
-
ExMplayer http://exmplayer.sourceforge.net/index.html seems to be working well for me. Pretty full featured player/converter with 3d support as well.

DAUM PotPlayer worked best for me. For lower resolution videos (e.g. 720x404 24-30fps), VLC 2.1.5 worked fine. I had problems with another HEVC encoded video at 1920x1080 30fps. It sorta played on VLC, but worked perfectly on PotPlayer. I think it may be due to the hardware decoding support. It seems like PotPlayer supports three different hardware decoding methods (CUDA, DXVA). I just used the defaults and the high res video played perfectly for me.
I've been using VLC for years, but unless they can play 1920x1080 HEVC videos, I will have to switch to PotPlayer as a default.
I also tried MPC-HC. It played the 1920x1080 HEVC video okay, but I noticed a lot of frame drops and stutter. It worked better than VLC 2.1.5, but not as good as DAUM PotPlayer.
