Ubuntu cannot open MP4 files after upgrade over Ubuntu 22 LTS Codecs are missing and the searching machine dindn't find any suitable codec.

Everything run before upgrade.

Many thanks for any suggestion.

Many thanks for your support and for your time Archisman.

I tried both commands: sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras and sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop^

Installation was successful but without any result.

Additionally I realized that Ubuntu cannot open only mp4 from my drone DJI Mini4 PRO before processing in video editor. There is no problem after video processing and also with other mp4 files.

The issue with mp4 from drone before processing in video editor persists: enter image description here
Missing:

meta/x-gst-fourcc-dbgi and
meta/x-gst-fourcc-djmd

I found only discussion about similar issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76305443/gstreamer-missing-decoder-meta-x-gst-fourcc-mebx but didn't find any suitable SW for my codecs.

As said I had no problem before Ubuntu upgrade.

Any idea please?

Cheers! Josef

You can install all codecs with the command

sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Also, the upgrade path was buggy and sometimes it removes many packages present in default ubuntu installation. To reinstall all of them, execute the command

sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop^

(Note: The ^ is necessary in the command above)
