This bug was resolved with the introduction of the "automatic" video sink in Parole 1.0.0. The best available sink will automatically be selected, so no one missing plugin will break.

parole (1.0.0-0ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release.
    - Fixes crash on clear history (LP: #1214514)
    - Fixes crash on seek (LP: #1374887)
