All online and HDD content work fine.

x265 test file 2 still drops frames. and freezes. No overclocking.

Both x265/HEVC videos you uploaded contain no subtitle (I verified with mediainfo). Playback of them, if without subtitle, were just flawless. Testings were all done with build #0804.

For the first x265/HEVC video, when I use an external English subtitle file in .srt format, I counted 10 freeze-pixelation-recovery sequences during the 12 minutes of playback. Video usually only freeze for a few seconds, 10 at the most.

For the second x265/HEVC video, I used an external .srt file which has nothing to show for the first 3 minutes (ie. first subtitle started after 3 minute), playback was also flawless. That means loading of subtitle files (at least for .srt) would not cause video freeze, only showing subtitle would. In fact, for x265/HEVC video with embedded subtitle, playback freeze problem won't happen if I turned subtitle display off in the first place.

I checked the info while playing the first x265/HEVC video. I'm little surprised that bitrate of the first video is pretty high (over 1.6MB/s) and playback without subtitle was smooth with no frame drop. I think they did a great job to utilize the full potential of RPi2.
