NDI|HX for Linux

Hello,
I'm using NDI to stream from a phone to a linux computer with OBS+obs-ndi plugin. This works ok if the phone app is set to "Full NDI" but I can't decode the HX formats. Is HX supported on linux? What SDK do I need to decode it?

I guess I'm missing some driver or SDK, since I heard of people using obs-ndi with HX on other operating systems. Where can I find the appropiate linux drivers/libraries?
 
HX is just H264/H265 encoded data. HX2 and HX3 are the same but with carefully crafted GOP lengths for lower latency. For decoding HX I believe it will use the H264/H265 decoder available on the operating system, their are many available for Linux but how you point the plugin to it is not clear. On Windows it just works because it is preinstalled (H265 may need an add-on).
