[Solved] KDE applications stopped playing mp3

Similiar problem, but different situation: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=164410

Juk and Amarok stopped playing MP3s. If I press play in either application, it loads the mp3's title, but doesn't actually start playing. The play icon appears next to the title, but the timer doesn't start running. VLC works fine, however, and so do other applications that use sound.

My Phonon backend is GStreamer and I have the ffmpeg, good, bad and ugly packages installed. This problem started around 3 weeks ago.

I already started both Juk and Amarok via the shell to see if they'd log any error messages, but to no avail.

Switching my backend to VLC is an option, but I'd rather first hear if there are any easier fixes.

Any ideas?

Do you have all gst plugins installed? (including gst-libav)

No, I didn't! Installing gst-libav did it for me. Solved.

Thanks
