@HD-False
It sounds like MC7 doesn't use the same method to generate thumbnails as WMP or Explorer.
The fact that PowerDVD 12 alters the behaviour of MC7, might suggest that MC7 is actually using DirectShow or Media Foundation for thumbnailing.
I really have no idea.
@cengizhan
Your solution would remove the high load for broken files, but at a high cost.
Imagine every time you download a new file, Explorer would request a new thumbnail, the second the 'shell' of the file is showing.
Obviously no thumbnail can be returned at this point, so, with your solution, a black thumbnail would be returned.
Explorer would be satisfied, but all newly downloaded files would remain black, until the next time the thumbnail cache is deleted.
@bars
Not likely, sorry.
I believe m2ts and ts are already covered by Microsoft.
Properties are showing nicely here. :-)

That and also it helps to identify some broken files.

Another solution may be: Put a timer like 5min-15min in registry or in a temporary file. cache the invalid files' name there. when explorer requests a thumbnail, skip that file without decoding until the timer is ended.
But i still don't know why this doesn't happen with broken avi files, but only with mkv files? for avi files, microsoft's own function waits/tries a bit and skip those files without decoding.

Icaros 2.0 final has been a bit delayed.
I wanted one last, very important feature in, before the final was released.
But, in the end, I ended up adding a whole lot of additional things, along with that last change. :-)
In RC2 (now RC3), all thumbnailing has been moved to an external isolated process.
Explorer will no longer be involved in the process, and should thus not
crash anymore, if anything goes wrong.
It will also allow thumbnailing on UNC paths (network drives),
and should make it possible to move or rename files that are being thumbnailed.
Since Explorer is not used anymore, it will not rise in memory or CPU either,
and all memory used, will be released right after the thumbnailing is done.
The mkv parser has also been revised, and should now provide better thumbnails for incomplete files
and improve overall thumbnailing for mkv files. I have also made it ready for some future
improvements and features. ;-)
VC-1i decoding has been enabled. The 24fps bug (mkv) in the property handler has been fixed,
and so has the bug with very long filepaths.

@cengizhan
I'm not sure how this build will affect processing of broken files, but give it a try.
Would it be possible for you to provide me with one of those broken avi files you spoke of?
@bars
"Not likely, sorry" <- was intended for those two formats.

Because the property handler does not utilize FFmpeg. I've written all the parsing code myself.
It is a completely independent shell extension.
Adding other formats takes a lot of time, and work.

Yes, it works perfectly now
Thanks ^^

I wonder is there a way to realize cover art for MKV files? I mean we can put PNG files into MKVs with the help of mkvmerge but is it somehow possible to read these PNGs and show them as thumbnails?
