and on the parole GUI it says "Parole needs DivX MPEG-4 Version 5 decoder to play this file. It can be installed automatically." However, it does not install automatically.

Did you install the codecs (Menu>Multimedia, not sure exactly what it's called on the menu, I deleted it once installed) ? You can also install them thru gslapt (salix-codecs-installer).

And why are you using sudo?

Thanks I managed to solve this problem using your instructions.

By the way I used sudo because without it parole was not showing any errors
