Codec Issue in VLC media player

When I try to play a video via vlc media player, It says some codec error

Codec not supported:
VLC could not decode the format “h264” (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10))

I have tried installing the codec by entering

sudo pacman -S vlc-plugin-x265

but still the same error. I have tried to uninstall and re install vlc. but the same issue pops out again.

Asked a friend who uses vanilla arch-linux, he says he too has the same issue.
