There was an issue previously which was meant to be fixed. As you have not said what image type and build version you are using, cannot compare with you.

This is what we ask people to use:

No problems here playing .avi files on build 030.

Nothing special needs to be done. You just select the file.

I am only used to mkv, but sometimes there are issues with some audio formats .... Whats in your videos?

Strange mine just stuttering. Even when i pause video and after trying to play again box just freezes spinning vix logo appears i can hear sound still going but image freezes and i have to do hard restart on box. I don't understand what o hell is wrong is it box fault or image.

Encode the files properly & shouldn't be an issue.

I understand i can encode files but what is a bit strange what box can't play files normally. My tvs shity media player plays all files and 200 pounds sat box can't do it.

A £200 or even a £500 sat box doesn't guarantee smooth playback of all files thrown at it.
It does what it should & does it well. Anything else, including playing properly encoded non .ts streams is a bonus.

An old outdated plugin won't help, neither will any other plugin that I know of.
GStreamer is in constant development & updated regularly so maybe playpack of certain files will improve in the future, but for now, best to encode to a format your box is designed to use.
Also, some manufacturers are better than others driver/kernel wise with issues like this.

I have expensive media players, that can play any format video/audio, but if the file has been copied/compressed incorrectly then they stutter or worse stop ..... But on my PC the same files normally are playable.:)

Yes valerie plugin didn't helped at all. I will have to use my tvs media player with one play everything with no issue.

Exactly, use your media player for that. Doubt it can do the functions of your E2 box though?
If you want your E2 box to play random downloaded files without glitching, a bit of re-encoding is required at times.

When you have downloaded some video from the internet, apart from the suffix e.g. Avi, you have no idea what it contains, how it was created and how well it was built .... Then you always expect it to play?
There is such naivety out there :)
