What is the parole Media Player?

Parole is a modern simple media player based on the GStreamer framework and written to fit well in the Xfce desktop. Parole features playback of local media files, DVD/CD and live streams. Parole is extensible via plugins.

Source code for Parole can be found on Github: Parole source

Missing gstreamer plugin: libav Package From Fedora DNF Repository

The Fedora DNF Repository currently does not include the "gstreamer1-libav" package which is required by Parole for playing mp4 videos.

VLC is packaged at the RPM Fusion Site. First we need to add this repository to NST.

Install The RPM Fusion Repository Into NST

dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

Install VLC From RPM Fusion Repository

Once the repository is added, we next add VLC. It is that simple!

dnf install vlc
