No mp4, avi video in Dragonplayer

If you haven't already, make sure you install "phonon-backend-gstreamer1.0".

It was already installed...

Only other things I can think of are kubuntu-restricted-extras and kubuntu-restriced-addons
I don't have any problems with either SMplayer or Amarok.

Those were already installed too. The issues started when I upgraded from 13.10. Everything related to Dragon Player, Amarok and SMplayer was working fine.

Edit: Just an update. SMplayer is working, but Amarok and Dragon Player are not.

This is kind of par for the course for anything except:

xmms
xmms2
mplayer
Amarok.

of course enable any restricted extras.

stay with what works.

Outside KDE.... the thing with the orange slice...or was that a martini shaken not stirred? Hoghead, Tito's and Lillit.

After adding the webupd8's ppa the current situation is: Amarok still won't work (due to its bug) and Dragon Player plays movie but has no sound. Also, I still have no sound at all for any kde notification or event.

Is the phonon-backend-gstreamer1.0 installed ?

Yes, it's installed. Current installed version is 0.0~git20140324-0ubuntu1.
Do I have to have installed phonon-backend-gstreamer0.10.x as well? (It's not installed)

[Gavin77]

Also make sure you have:
gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
gstreamer1.0-libav

Also make sure you have:
gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
gstreamer1.0-libav

All right! gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad was not installed and installing it solved the issues with Amarok, Dragon Player and system sound events. Thank you all!

I used to install a variety of gstreamer packages to get multimedia to work. Now I just install gst123 which installs many of the gstreamer packages. With this, multimedia packages give output including LO Impress with movies.
