VLC media player 1.0 rc crashes (hangs) when opening a directory or playlist directly, adding it to the playlist, or opening it in any other way. I also tried the latest nightly, same thing. In the nightly the following appears:

I also tried to remove my vlcrc and cache files, and then it works fine. But when I set my settings how I would like them, I can reproduce the bugs. Attached files are the vlcrc settings file, a file called 'crashdump' found in the same directory as vlcrc, and the screenshot above. I hope you fix the bug, because I use vlc as my primary music and video player

Using VLC Media Player 1.0 on Windows XP with full administrator rights.

What options did you change?

That looks like a bug, but with no clear instructions how to reproduce it, neither a stack trace, it's impossible to reproduce and fix.

Okay, I did some testing. It seems to happen when turning the MSN Now-Playing option on in Interface -> Controlling interfaces (?, I'm using the dutch version of VLC)

I'm trying to get a stacktrace from VLC Nightly using Visual Studio.

edit: Got a call stack

Sorry, I cannot find any obvious cause for the given assertion, and your backtrace is totally illegible.

What I forgot to mention, VLC must be restarted after turning the MSN Now-playing option on. After you restarted VLC try to open a XPSF or a directory in VLC player. It should (well, should'nt

) stop responding. The nightly will break when attached to in Visual Studio.
