From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just tried installing Parole on my own KDE Plasma+Wayland system and it just works, aside from opening an external playback window, which feels a bit weird, but I'm assuming it's normal. The only display drivers available are X, but the "Automatic" pick works.
If it doesn't work for you, make sure xwayland is installed.
Few days ago a package management system I was trying removed a lot of packages from my I am facing issues from then. I do have Xwaylanld though.
Could you describe the issue in more detail, then? What happens when you try to play a video? If you get any error messages, please copy them.
It might not be Wayland-related at all.
