No longer able to start video player; error while loading shared libraries

Whenever I try to load my default video player, it doesn't load. Looking at the virtual terminal that displays the ongoing processes of my xsession, it displays the following:

Code:gmplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libwscale.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryIt was working fine until yesterday when I installed some libraries as dependencies for some packages off of SBo:
-serd
-sord
-suil
-sdl2
-lilv
-ffmpeg
-wxGTK3

I don't see how any of these libraries would affect something that handles video though.
And playing video through the web browser works fine. Youtube and other video sites play just fine, it's just the system video player that randomly stopped working.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=kebtVg5BDuU:YDvMdbdAidg:F7zBnMy latest?i=kebtVg5BDuU:YDvMdbdAidg:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=kebtVg5BDuU:YDvMdbdAidg:gIN9vFwkebtVg5BDuU
