Amarok - not playing mp3

I have problems with Amarok not playing my MP3 songs. What is weird is that my gstreammer plugins (good, bad & ugly) are installed. Here is the output of:

[ziga@Ziga-laptop ~]$ pacman -Qs gstreamer
local/gst-libav 1.6.1-1
    Gstreamer libav Plugin
local/gst-plugins-bad 1.6.1-1
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework Bad Plugins
local/gst-plugins-base 1.6.1-1
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework Base Plugins

    GStreamer Multimedia Framework Good Plugins
local/gst-plugins-ugly 1.6.1-1
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework Ugly Plugins
local/gstreamer 1.6.1-1
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework
local/gstreamer0.10 0.10.36-4
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework
local/gstreamer0.10-base 0.10.36-3
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework Base plugin libraries

    Phonon GStreamer backend for Qt4
local/phonon-qt5-gstreamer 4.8.2-1
    Phonon GStreamer backend for Qt5

Should I remove all gstreamer0.10 legacy files or should I update any packages? I am using KDE5 desktop.

Re: Amarok - not playing mp3

Solution was to simply install "phonon-qt4-vlc" and "phonon-qt5-vlc" and go to KDE settings and change backend from "phonon-qt" to "phonon-vlc". I guess I'll use later from now on.
