Unable to play the file

I wanted to open video file in default gnome player but there is an error message:

AC-3 (ATSC A/52) decoder is required to play the file, but is not installed

I have a52dec installed and not sure what to do next. It's the first time I have such problem.

AC-3 is drm related if i remember correctly?

maybe try installing 'gst-plugins-good' if not try 'gst-plugins-bad' and then 'gst-plugins-ugly' and see if that works?

EDIT: if all else fails try 'vlc' first to see if it plays on that

It seems that drm was an answer.
I didn't enable nvidia drm after drive install
Thanks

nvidia-drm supports the linux Direct Rendering Manager interface while I believe Code_Eye meant Digital Rights Management.

Arch Linux
