This may very well be https://bugs.launchpad.net/elisa/+bug/287023, for which a patch is pending, and should be fixed in the next release (0.5.16, next Monday). > Another problem is support for video files.

Well "normal" users will prefer to install a codec pack rather than each filter manually (you know, these users who don't have a clue what a codec is anyway). Our tests are mostly done with KLite, and for this reason that is the codec pack we recommend, however I'm sure our Windows experts will be interested in investigating this issue, if they can reproduce it. > And now the last problem: Audio playback stutters when navigating > through directories.

If you spot other issues while using Elisa, you can file bug reports at https://bugs.launchpad.net/elisa/+filebug. > Best regards, > Vlada Cheers, Olivier
