Thanks! Now I really got the solution proposed by Jorgen Schaefer. Of course this change would work also for other backends for which playable-p will check if the executable file exists. The only situation I can think of where may patch could help, is for container formats like .avi or .mkv in which the codecs used can vary and the best way to know if a player can play those media is by starting it and check its return code. Obviously my patch alone isn't enough without player return code checking. Thanks, Andrea. -- "If art interprets our dreams, the computer executes them in the guise of programs!" -- Alan J.
