Public bug reported: Since version 5.4 digikam uses the QtAV framework[1] to handle audio/video files[2]. Since qtav is currently not packaged in ubuntu (nor in debian, although there is an ITP [3]) digikam is unable to handle any audio or video files.
This is a regression because video/audio playback did work (mostly) in previous versions.
