It appears that my crash has something to do with the "Hancock" backdrop from themoviedb.org.
In MP 0.6 it wasn't displaying, only a black background, In 0.7 it caused mediaportal to crash.
When I loaded the .jpg in photoshop it had some blue lines on it like an overlay...so I just made a new backdrop saved as same filename and it works.
I googled and saw that a few other people have had issue with this backdrop.
