Hi,
first of all I'd like to express that Elisa looks very nice. The
interface is really smooth and easy to understand. However on Windows
there are some problems which I'd like to report:
The first thing is that adding files to media library doesn't work. The
whole process is also somewhat not clear. I managed to do it on Linux
and in the lower right corner the progress was displayed. But in
Windows, I'm not able to add files to library. What should be the steps?
Navigate to the folder, then move the cursor to the right (a + - sign is
displayed, not really intuitive) and then what?
Another problem is support for video files. Audio files play OK, but if
I want to play video a dialog that the file is not support pops up. It
suggest me to install K-Lite codecpack. First of all I hate codecapacks
and rather install all filters manually. The second thing that I don't
see how K-Lite could help me. I have all the necessary DirectShow
filters (Elisa is dusing a GStreamer DirectShow wrapper, right?)
installed - Haali Media Splitter and ffdshow. All the files I tried play
in DirectShow but not in Elisa.
And now the last problem: Audio playback stutters when navigating
through directories. This might be the same problem that Songbird 0.8
nightlies have. They're trying to fix it by increasing buffer.
Best regards,
Vlada
