I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04. all seem to go well but I cannot play my home videos.
I get a message saying that I need an Advance Streaming Format Demuxer
When I click link to get this I am told could not access repository check internet connection
The connection seem to be ok as Firebird and mail work fine.
I have reinstalled ubuntu with the same results. I also cannot download from Software center.
I then tried installing mint which payed mp4s ok
I would rather use ubuntu as I have been amazed at the support that is given.

Try executing below command -
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
and do a system restart and check you are able to play the video.
