Sid just had a major Qt upgrade. Not sure if it may be related but try a dist-upgrade.

i recently saw an identical complaint, and in the end the package that takes care of porting gtk themes to qt was responsible.

that said and imho mpv is a much better choice for media player on any gnu/linux.

I can now confirm that this issue also exist in Buster.

More than that, im not able to get ANY video player to work, when i for example try to run MPV, i get this:
mpv: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libass.so.9: undefined symbol: FT_Outline_EmboldenXY
