Description Sadi 2021-08-05 11:23:18 UTC 
SUMMARY
I cannot add any video file to project after some updates since I last used it - although all dependencies are met and installed as far as I can see.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Kdenlive with default settings/configuration opening a default new project. 
2. Click the top left "Add Clip or Folder" tool in "Project Bin" pane. 
3. Try to open any video file in any path with appropriate user permissions.

OBSERVED RESULT
A warning message is displayed: "Cannot open file /path/to/video/file
(No problem with image files)

EXPECTED RESULT
It should be possible to add any supported video clip to the project bin. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon 5.22
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.84.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
kdenlive-21.04.3b-x86_64.appimage works as expected
Comment 1 Paul Worrall 2021-08-05 15:09:04 UTC 
I can reproduce this.
In the terminal window it says:

/////////// starting to add bin clips
/////////// found list (QUrl("file:///srv/local_storage/home/default/Downloads/file_example_MP4_480_1_5MG.mp4"))
/////////// creatclipsfromlist (QUrl("file:///srv/local_storage/home/default/Downloads/file_example_MP4_480_1_5MG.mp4")) true "-1"
/////////// createClipFromFile "/srv/local_storage/home/default/Downloads/file_example_MP4_480_1_5MG.mp4" "-1"
=== GOT DROPPED MIME:  "video/mp4"
/////////// final xml "<producer _checkProfile=\"1\">\n <property name=\"resource\">/srv/local_storage/home/default/Downloads/file_example_MP4_480_1_5MG.mp4</property>\n</producer>\n"
/////////// creatclipsfromlist return false

Hi guys

I confirm I have the same bug with KDE neon (up-to-date).

Thanks!
