7.5 pb1, lister plugins crash

[ElQuia]

Hi, trying out the beta, did an upgrade of 704.
In 704 I use a lot the mediashow lister plugin to quick browse (Ctl+Q) a lot of multimedia files (I have Shark007's Vista codeck packs (x86 +x64) installed, so I can see all formats, video and audio, mkv, avi, mp4, mpg, flac, mp3, wma, etc. Mediashow, fills the ctrlQ window nicely.
On installing 7.50 it started crashing with an invalid something error box.

Another: IEView lister plugin, on opening *.MHT files, in 704 (vista, IE8) it worked OK, in 7.50 it doesn't.

THE QUESTION is: ¿has something changed in lister or TC that will render all these old plugins useless ?

For now I uninstalled 7.5, will wait for final. Can´t live wo those plugs

I've just tried MHT files (through IEview) and no errors. What version of this plugin you've got? Can you post configuration of your Ieview.ini somewhere?

Please try this configuration with newest version from here.

Please write down error message when crash happen next time. It can help to find out the source of problems.

fenix_productions: ieview IS 1.94a.

Tomorrow I will try again installing 7.50 as upgrade. Now I´m doing a clean up of 7.04, removing old plugs that I don't use or can be replaced. With that finished I'll try again. I´ll post my ieview.ini and try yours.

Any Idea of what's happening with mediashow?

tnx for your reply

Any Idea of what's happening with mediashow?

Unfortunately not.

[ElQuia]

May it be that the new unicode capabilities in TC make non unicode plugins invalid? or maybe it's a lister bug?

Well, tomorrow after trying again I'll be back

Some lister plugins try to do things not covered by the plugin interface, like manipulating the Lister menu and other things. These may not work with Unicode, and may require an update of the plugin. Most plugins should work OK, though.

OK Guys, found the culprit of plugins misbehavior:

It's: cm_SwitchX64Redirection

When it's turned off, lister/ieview and lister or ctrl+q/media show work OK.

(Being the exception lister/ieview that when loading an *mht or *.pdf file won´t close on escape)

When it's turned on:

MediaShow gives the following error:
See screen:

Code: Select all

Lister/Ie View shows the following output:
See screen:

Code: Select all

the same output with redirection turned of is:
See screen:

Code: Select all

Any Ideas

Indeed cm_SwitchX64Redirection shouldn't be used except when absolutely necessary. The problem is that when a plugin tries to load a dll from system32, this will fail because it's redirected to the x64 version.

You can use
cd %windir%\Sysnative
on Windows Vista and later.

Uhhhh what does cd %windir%\Sysnative do exactly (I´m guessing it changes to system32 or syswow64) and how is it applicable to the situation of plugins crashing

I already created a button on the bar to use cm_SwitchX64Redirection when necessary only ...

What about the lister not closing on esc when loading pdf or mht? Ideas?

It allows you to go to the 64-bit system32 folder without using the problematic cm_SwitchX64Redirection command.

OK, Thanks!
