The package gets a lot of credit in the forum, and it is just.

I've had the package for a long time with no problems until I installed Subtitles Support. Apparently this combinations causes some problems.

I too experienced a lot of problems with playback of music and videos, and it killed my videorecording capabilities.

I had to reflash, and it was a bummer. But I still think, that Extras Decoder is a good package, just to let people know, that they shouldn't stay completely clear of this package.
