I've upgraded from Ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 (Trusty). This version comes with DigiKam 3.5.0, and Digikam fails to start up. The issue is apparently related somehow to the Phonon library: Thread 1 (Thread 0x7f3be7853840 (LWP 10682)): [KCrash Handler] #6 0x00007f3bad726a0e in ??

Try using phonon-vlc backend instead.
Please install debugging symbols for Phonon, phonon-backend-gstreamer and gstreamer, and make sure you use the gstreamer 1.x libraries and plugins we then need a better backtrace.
OK, there you go: Thread 1 (Thread 0x7f674c743840 (LWP 12016)): [KCrash Handler] #6 0x00007f6713353a0e in ??

digiKam 5.4.0 bundles will use QtAV framework instead Qt5Multimedia to thumb and play video/audio. The Slideshow tool will also support video as well. QtAV use ffmpeg codecs. It's multi-platform and will always available in OSX, Windows and Linux bundles that digiKam team provide. For Linux packagers, you will need to turn on video support at compilation time and solve QtAV dependencies...
