Parole needs VP9 decoder to play this file.
I installed,
Code:
gstreamer1-plugins-svt-vp9-0.1.0 GStreamer (svt-vp9) plugin
svt-vp9-0.1.0_1                Scalable VP9 encoder
still getting the same error. it is trying to play 'webm'
with mkv it gets that same message along with needs H.264 (main profile) decoder.

I removed it then reinstalled it adding all of its deps along with it, and am still getting the same errors, or is mp4 the only thing this can play?
 
Try compiling mpv or vlc from ports. When compiling, in the configure step make a careful selection of plugins you want to enable and make sure your decoders are there.
Code:
portsnap fetch extract
# or ...
portsnap fetch update
# ...if you have used the ports already

cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mpv
make install clean

Launch (in console) gst-discover-1.0 follows by your multimedia file. It displays some information, Parole uses the GStreamer framework.
 
yeah, on my other laptop I do not have here at the time this player just plays and no message of missing codecs. let me go try that..

removed it and everything, reinstalled it, gets message
Code:
Message from parole-1.0.4:

--
The Clutter backend has been removed from the multimedia/xfce4-parole
port, as it induces a crash with Gtk >= 3.22.

If you had manually configured parole to ustheree the Clutter backend, you
must switch to 'xvimagesink' or 'ximagesink'.

You can use the 'xfconf-query' command in order to change the backend:
$ xfconf-query -c parole -p /video/videosink -s "xvimagesink"
You can choose 'xvimagesink' or 'ximagesink'.
Alternatively you can remove previously specified backend:
$ xfconf-query -c parole -p /video/videosink -r
there might be something to that too.
this is not a priority just a nuance.

I cannot find anything on a gst-discover in pkg or ports.
Code:
$ sudo find . -type d -name *discover*
./www/p5-HTML-RSSAutodiscovery
./java/jakarta-commons-discovery
./devel/hs-hspec-discover
./devel/rubygem-aws-sdk-applicationdiscoveryservice
./devel/rubygem-aws-sdk-servicediscovery
./sysutils/plasma5-discover
 
Okay, I wasn't typing it in with the version number, I am not accustom to adding version numbers to commands. I should have taken that as verbatim .. my bad..

whatever happened it works now... maybe deleteing then reinstalling it???
