I concur with Peter's suggestion.
Using LC9.0.5 RELEASE, I have not seen crashes when editing stacks with
player objects or changing player properties. LC9.0.5rc1 and LC9.5.0
RELEASE have bugs that can crash the IDE while debugging.
However, in our two applications that use the player object, the player
is generally not set to any video (filename is empty) while editing.

Roland,
You might try setting filename of the player to empty before going to edit mode
(catching the editScript message). In the past, if a player couldn’t find the
referenced file it often causes LC to freeze or slow way down, similarly to
what you’re reporting.

Thank you very much, Paul, for your detailed answer. I removed my other
Codec package and installed the LAV package as recommended by you. It works
well! Great. All the videos I have in MP4, etc. are playing now. This makes
me happy.
But the other biggest problem:
My IDE starts hanging (Windows 64, Version Indy 9.05 and 9.5) when working
with the player and being in edit mode, mainly using the script editor.
This happens all the time. There is no exact recipe. After some time, I
already notice LC is slowing down (it takes long time for anything to
happen) , and soon after that all freezes, and then I have to force-quit
and restart all over again.
As long as the user mode is on and as long as the player is just playing,
it seems to be ok . Except, of course, there is a huge bug list that you
mentioned.
If anybody else has experienced hanging/freezing LiveCode using the player
in edit mode, I would then create a but report because I could not find a
similar report there. Unfortunately, there is no very clear recipe yet.
