The Required plugins could not be found

Videos requires to install plugins to play files of the following types:
• MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder
• MPEG-4 Video decoder

I tried manually installing the same plugins, but it didn't do anything.

Can someone please help?

Did you do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras? Although try installing videoplayers VLC and SMplayer, they have bundled plugin version with them.

  • Again in case of typo: ubuntu-restricted-extras. This thing can not not to be there. If it isn't, your repos list is damaged and that is the source of the error you see. Repair repos and install this. – Barafu Albino Aug 07 '14 at 16:23
