which phonon backend are you using? choice is vlc or gstreamer. I'd guess you are missing some gstreamer and/or vlc packages. try the phonon backend you aren't using

mPlayer doesn't use the same codecs for playback, so it's not relevant to your issue

for gstreamer the Arch wiki suggest you run
Code: Select all
pacman -S gstreamer0.10-plugins


for VLC you should run
Code: Select all
pacman -S vlc

Well I finally fixed it installing all these packages...
1) gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins
2) gstreamer0.10-base-plugins
3) gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
4) gstreamer0.10-good-plugins
5) gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins
I firstly thought they were not all need.
Thank you very much!!
