Error

I'm finding it very difficult to add videos as every time I try I get the message "Unable to create KIO worker. Can not create a socket for launching a KIO worker for protocol 'file'."


Media browser shows nothing except error message and if I go to Project, Add Clip or Folder I get the same error. 
As I can't add clips it makes the entire program practically useless.
I've uninstalled, reinstalled and it makes no difference at all
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kdenlive
2. Add clip or folder
3. Get message "Unable to create KIO worker. Can not create a socket for launching a KIO worker for protocol 'file'."
