Unable to Watch Downloaded Videos

[greas]

On my new Linux Mint laptop I had transferred several videos from my other computer. Whenever I try to watch any of them I get this error message:

Required Plugin could not be found

pk-gstreamer-install requires to install plugins to play files of the following types:
MPEG-4 AAC decoder
H.264(constrained baseline profile) decoder

I'm not sure how to resolve this issue. Any advice?

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

 

[greas]

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

What do I do after that?

Hi @greas and welcome to linux.org

If you have installed that package, reboot your computer and see if you can play the videos.

I resolved the issue by installing vlc. Thanks guys for the help.
