I built Minitube 2.5.2 in Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit smoothly but does not play any video.I have installed phonon, phonon-backend-vlc, phonon4qt5-backend-null, libphonon4, libphonon4qt5-4, python-qt4, libphonon4qt5-dev .

When i tried to run minitube command, it shows foloowing error :

$ minitube
WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded

What else do I need? How can I solve it? Thanks.

I have just faced a similar issue, as described in this other question.

After some tries, I have realised that there are separate packages for phonon qt5.

The installation of the following packages solved the issue on my system:

sudo apt install phonon4qt5 phonon4qt5-backend-gstreamer phonon4qt5-backend-vlc

Now, the installation of these packages should probably be recommended from the gwenview package, so this is probably a packaging bug.
