 Nobody is using x265 directly. It is possible of course, but ffmpeg is
 using x265 and YOU CAN pass arguments to it (-x265-params). Listen: ffmpeg
 is a library, it means that you need to use something like mkvmerge, which
 IS USED by rarbg... Something like:

 {{{
  ./src/mkvmerge \
       -o output.mkv\
       --colour-matrix 0:9 \
       --colour-range 0:1 \
       --colour-transfer-characteristics 0:16 \
       --colour-primaries 0:9 \
       --max-content-light 0:1000 \
       --max-frame-light 0:300 \
       --max-luminance 0:1000 \
       --min-luminance 0:0.01 \
       --chromaticity-coordinates 0:0.68,0.32,0.265,0.690,0.15,0.06 \
       --white-colour-coordinates 0:0.3127,0.3290 \
       input.mov

 }}}
 It is really simple.

 So, I will update you. Very soon Google will give us updated HDR10+
 patches, they are already fully ready (they are using it in Youtube and
 Google Films, but GPL 3, ha-ha, so will have to give it to us). And then I
 think we will copy rigaya implementation of metadata or mkvmerge...
 Can you please update that post

 issue was fixed https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/8228? I am not registered
