Tried previously only on a real HW and now tried also with VirtualBox. Seems VirtualBox's video driver doesn't support XVideo (xv) and parole tries to use xv output by default (unless user have disabled it). This causes your issue and it's only reproducible with video drivers not suppporting XVideo. Cmd 'xvinfo' from pkg xvinfo tells if XVideo is supported. Users can disable XVideo support in parole with cmd 'parole --xv false' and enable it again with 'parole --xv --true'. Those cmd's needs to be used only once. After disabling XVideo, videos should work. This isn't really a bug in parole or pkg'ing so I'm closing this as WORKSFORME.
