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.

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

Missing gstreamer plugin: "gstreamer1-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. The following error message is displayed if the package is missing: "H.264 (High Profile) decoder" is need by Parole.

The source code for "gstreamer1-libav" can be found on Github: gst-libav source

The RPM Fusion DNF repository does include the "gstreamer1-libav" package. Use the following sections to install the RPM Fision repository for DNF usage and installation of the "gstreamer1-libav" package.

How do I install the "gstreamer1-libav" Package?

The "gstreamer1-libav" packaged is located 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 "gstreamer1-libav" From RPM Fusion Repository

Once the repository is added, we next add "gstreamer1-libav". It is that simple!

 dnf install gstreamer1-libav;
