How can I install ubuntu-restricted-extras?

Question

I searched for ubuntu-restricted-extras in app store. I didn't find it. I opened terminal and typed

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

but it said unable to find. I typed

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Then certain something like a 500MB download started.

But although it sucessfully installed, I still can't play videos and songs.
