TC7.5b5 lister or plugin mediashow hang

[ElQuia]

Just installed b5, Recap: I use tc sometimes as a fast multimedia browser, till now (it worked ok in b4) basically quick view (ctrl+q), lister + plugs, mainly imagine for images, and mediashow 0.95 for audio and video. Mediashow has a couple of advantages despite its age (anyone know if it´s being mantained ): it loads via dshow anything, it can be configed to fit to windows and automatically play next file in list, in audio it shows info, etc.
Till b4 if it found a broken file it only stayed blank.

With TC b5:
-on broken file it crashes
-sometimes and randomly (be it in full lister window or ctrl+q) it hangs lister/TC. with a file it hangs now, maybe later it will work ok

Questions:
1. May this be a lister bug or a regresion in TC b5 (inb4 it did not happen)
2. Does anyone know of a plugin that can do what I do with mediashow
[mainly load any video or audio format that the system has codec for, play it "full window" of fit to window in quick view and automatically play next file.]

on broken file it crashes

Could you provide such a broken file?

petermad, will try to post one.
Don´t have any now. (deleted them) Usually what I call broken files, are incompletely downloaded video clips, sometimes wmv, avi or mpg.
Will try to abort some download and reproduce the problem.

In TC b4, a broken file just didn't play in quick view. In b5 it hangs the full app (TC). What also mystifies me is that some files don't play once then they to, then they don't. Crash and this latter behavior is the same in quick view or in lister full window.

Where should I upload the file It could be to my RS account. Please advice.

Don´t have broken file yet. But I did a lot of tests.
First with TC 7.5b4 that I had backuped full dir to a usb drive (I keep ini in program dir), then I repeated same tests with same files with the b5.
Sequence was Like this:
1. From within TC, open video file in Media Player Classic Home Cinema.
2. From within TC, (F3) Open video file in Lister+MediaShow Plugin
3. From within TC, (Ctrl+Q) Open video file in quick view (media show).

I tried these file types (at lease 2 of each): *.flv, *.wmv, *.avi, *.mpg

Results:
1- With TC7.50 b4: all files played Ok in every instance.
2- With TC7.50 b5: in all cases, all files, in instances 1. (MPC) and 2. (Lister Window F3) Played OK. BUT ALL OF THEM MADE TC HANG AND CRASH in instance 3. (Quick View)

Crash sequence is: first quick view window opens in opposite pane with a gray background and nothing happens, I waited up to 60 seconds. On clicking in any part of the TC window, TC hangs, on trying to close, typical vista crash message appears.

Audio: all audio formats tested play OK (Quick view + media show): flac, wma, mp3, wv.

Conclusion: I'll try to get a broken file, but it appears to be more than a bad handling or broken files.

Please just tell me if you want any other kind of tests done.
