Cannot install vlc-plugin-libde265 to play H.265 (mkv/mp4) videos properly

As I found out, I need to install vlc-plugin-libde265 in order to play H.265 videos properly. After adding generally recommended PPA below, I still cannot find the package:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:strukturag/libde265
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-libde265

E: Unable to locate package vlc-plugin-libde265

• Xubuntu 16.04.03 (xenial)

• The content of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/strukturag-ubuntu-libde265-xenial.list:

  deb xenial main
  deb-src xenial main

What PPA do I have to use?

The next works for me in ubuntu 14.04.Try this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-libde265

The above "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:strukturag/libde265" and

"sudo apt-get update" works for me for totem, not vlc, if i next to it do this:

"sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-libde265" and "sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libde265".

I wish it work for you.Sorry for my bad english.
