16.10 - gwenview - phonon backend plugin could not be loaded - Ask Ubuntu


i have gwenview installed in ubuntu 16.10, , not able play videos. console output gives error:

warning: bool phonon::factoryprivate::createbackend() phonon backend plugin not loaded 

i had tried several options around, including installation of phonon-backends-vlc, did not make difference.

after tries, have realised there separate packages phonon qt5.

the installation of following packages solved issue on system:

sudo apt install phonon4qt5 phonon4qt5-backend-gstreamer phonon4qt5-backend-vlc 

now, installation of these packages should recommended gwenview package, packaging bug.
