CCCP for Android?

Apparently this 'Combined Combined Community Codec Pack' isn't an Android app but rather an obscure Windows codec package:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_Community_Codec_Pack
Looking through the list of codecs it includes, it doesn't look like MX Player isn't the one lacking, CCCP does. Apps like MX Player and VLC each can view a wider range of different codecs but that's more or less irrelevant as this is a Windows issue (... and Windows applications like SMPlayer and VLC can also view an equally wider range of different codecs than CCCP).

I have video files I transferred to my Android but they won't play whereas on Windows with CCCP they would. Gotta convert them to MP4, I suppose.

What format are the videos in? Because I've got some 1080p H.265 10-bit movies, but found that my Android phones and tablets just don't have enough raw CPU power to decode and play them. And the only thing I have that can is an Intel Core2 Duo Macbook Air laptop with macOS.
