How to install h.264 decoder?
I tried playing videos in movie player but only the audio could be heard.
I tried playing the video with dragon player but here also only the audio could be heard.
A message box appeared showing the following message:
Python (v2.7) requires to install plugins to play media files of the following type: H.264 decoder
I tried installing the plugin but it couldn't be installed.
It isn't available in the software center too.
How can I get this plugin?

h264enc is "A shell script which makes it easy to encode DVDs or video files to the H.264/AVC/MPEG-4 Part 10 video format using MEncoder from the MPlayer project". That doesn't sound like the codec that's wanted, but converting the videos might be a fallback option.

In order to play h.264 encoded videos the corresponding decoder comes with the following library:
apt install gstreamer1.0-libav

I think this is part of the package gstreamer-plugins-bad. If you search for this in Software Center it should show up. It might be that you have to activate the multiverse repository (start Software & Sources and tick the appropriate box for this).
After you have installed the package, Movie Player should be able to play the file.

Installing gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg from a PPA as described below solved this for me.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

The package that fixed it for me on 16.04 is the gstreamer plugins bad.
I got a message about Python-3.5 minimal wanting to install some MPEG-4 AAC plugin, which did not do anything. To fix:
In a terminal type:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
If you still can't get it to work somehow, you can try VLC as a workaround, installable by:
sudo apt-get install vlc
I did not unclick the restricted software, that may work but may disable other codecs.
By the way, movie player or Video is the Totem video player.

Following this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk5viMViSXk) worked for me. Now, I am able to play and seek forward/backward h264 files created by my Chinese IP Camera.
To sum up:
Open VLC.
Go to:
Tools/Preferences. SelectShow settings: `All'In
Input / Codecs/Demuxers, selectDemux moduleash264 video demuxer. Save and restart VLC.
Now you should be able to play h264 file.

I had the same problem with playing videos. Video player wanted to download mpeg - 4 acc decoder and h.264 decoder, but this hadn`t happened due to legal reasons (-if I understand correctly what was written in the window what appears after pc was trying to download mentioned programs).
After I unclicked Software & updates -> Ubuntu software -> "unclick" Software restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse) all start working again. (I mean that after this operation pc downloads what he needed and that it started working).

The audio-only gstreamer bug can easily be resolved
Hearing only audio on H.264 playback with an otherwise black video screen was reported as gstreamer1.0 bug #1562875.
Luckily, this bug can easily be resolved by issuing the following command once:
$ rm -R ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0
This will take effect after restarting the application.

The package was probably not available because you hadn't activated the multiverse repository, as I wrote you might have to do :)

The package that fixed it for me on 16.04 is the gstreamer plugins bad.
I got a message about Python-3.5 minimal wanting to install some MPEG-4 AAC plugin, which did not do anything. To fix:
In a terminal type:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
If you still can't get it to work somehow, you can try VLC as a workaround, installable by:
sudo apt-get install vlc
I did not unclick the restricted software, that may work but may disable other codecs.
By the way, movie player or Video is the Totem video player.

Following this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk5viMViSXk) worked for me. Now, I am able to play and seek forward/backward h264 files created by my Chinese IP Camera.
To sum up:
Open VLC.
Go to:
Tools/Preferences. SelectShow settings: `All'In
Input / Codecs/Demuxers, selectDemux moduleash264 video demuxer. Save and restart VLC.
Now you should be able to play h264 file.

I had the same problem with playing videos. Video player wanted to download mpeg - 4 acc decoder and h.264 decoder, but this hadn`t happened due to legal reasons (-if I understand correctly what was written in the window what appears after pc was trying to download mentioned programs).
After I unclicked Software & updates -> Ubuntu software -> "unclick" Software restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse) all start working again. (I mean that after this operation pc downloads what he needed and that it started working).

The audio-only gstreamer bug can easily be resolved
Hearing only audio on H.264 playback with an otherwise black video screen was reported as gstreamer1.0 bug #1562875.
Luckily, this bug can easily be resolved by issuing the following command once:
$ rm -R ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0
This will take effect after restarting the application.
