I recommend reading both web links below. This is the first release which now supports MPV and some other features such as MPRIS v2 Support, new theme, 3D stereo filter and more. Unlike other players SMplayer doesn't require you to install codecs to play something because it carries its own, all required codecs within itself. To setup MPV as base for SMplayer head over to tool bar Under "Options" menu select "Preferences" then under "General" write /usr/bin/mpv in MPlayer/mpv executable field, SMPlayer Sees New Release '15.11' With MPV Support, Install via PPA Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media Having a current version of "FFmpeg", is a good thing to do as well.
If you have not installed "ubuntu-restricted-extras", mencoder, melt, from the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM), then I would recommend that you do. These are the instructions, that I use for this, perhaps these will help you. If you run " inxi -Fxzd" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information. It would help to know more about your system setup. I just read your post and the good replies to it. But if you do, you need to be aware that it is its own private universe. Certainly one could not accuse it of exposing too few options - some of which you at times just need or want. Gstreamer and VLC are as of today and in that order most relevant but I frequently use mplayer (and mencoder) as well. Its backends include all of the aforementioned. KDE has layered the Phonon level on top so as to isolate itself further from it. Up to this point in time gstreamer has as such been just one more entrance in the confusing mess of Linux multimedia rather than a solution. The same reason why we have Cinnamon and MATE. Gstreamer is a framework that decouples the player (such as "Videos") from the lower-level backend but is unfortunately part of the Gnome universe the players that use it victim to the Gnome disease of removing functionality right past the point where hardly any user, any even remotely involved user at the very least, wants to use them. "Xine" is another still somewhat relevant backend player at this level that you may encounter. Installing codecs for one doesn't do anything for the others. Multimedia is as of today still rather a mess in Linux "Videos" (a gstreamer based player), VLC and MPlayer respectively use, are and are three fully seperate backend players: players that themselves (de)code audio and video (and subtitles, and.).
