Bug Description

Minitube does not work on Ubuntu 16.04 unless the following package is installed manually alongside it: phonon4qt5-backend-gstreamer

I also suggest pushing 2.5.2 to Ubuntu 16.04 as most of the videos I play will come up with a missing tr variable error in the terminal output.

This report is somewhat related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/minitube/+bug/629936 which states that Minitube should *not* depend on phonon4qt5-backend-gstreamer because that brings in unnecessary dependencies on Kubuntu (KDE has native support for Phonon).

However, it could depend on the metapackage phonon4qt5 which will pull in a suitable backend for the distribution, either GStreamer or Phonon.

And that is actually exactly how Debian does it: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/minitube
