That was a good suggestion, and I was able to (kind of) solve the problem. I now can play MP4, OGV, AVI and WMV files with KDE DragonPlayer without issues, which is what I wanted to achieve in the first place. Hilariously, a new issue appeared: VLC player can't play any of the above video files, it just starts up, shows the first frame of the video and hangs. I have to "kill -9" to get rid of it. Still it's a step forward. Here's what I did: # aptitude install phonon-backend-vlc [...] # aptitude purge phonon-backend-gstreamer --purge-unused [...] # aptitude install phonon-backend-vlc vlc The following NEW packages will be installed: libsdl-image1.2{a} libtar0{a} libupnp6{ab} libva-x11-1{a} libwebp2{a} libxcb-composite0{a} libxcb-keysyms1{a} libxcb-randr0{a} libxcb-xfixes0{a} vlc The following packages will be upgraded: vlc-nox The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: vlc-plugin-notify vlc-plugin-pulse 1 packages upgraded, 10 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
