"mostly from yum" might be the problem. Did you install Parole from yum?

You need to substitute the actual filename of the .mov file.

That's never going to work unless you happen to be in the directory
where the xdg-mime command lives (and if it's an executable then catting
it to the screen is pointless and may screw up your terminal modes). Try
'type xdg-mime'. Besides, you've already demonstrated that you have the
command because it gave you an error message.
