[Solved] Dragon Player doesn't play mp4 and webm video

On my system with KDE, installed one month ago, I noticed that Dragon Player doesn't play mp4 or webm videos. Ogg files are played correctly. I think that I have installed the necessary codecs.

VLC, instead, plays all of them correctly.

What can I do?

Which phonon backend are you using and if it's gstreamer are all of the relevant gst plugins installed? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GStreamer#Installation

I'm using GStreamer and I was missing some optional codec dependency (`gst-plugins-good`, for example).
The audio part of KDE is something of unexplored for me.

Thanks for the help!
