Random frequent app crashes with reference to a null value exception

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Running the app alone causes the problems. No specifics as to 
cause-action-result

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
running 4.7.7 downloaded from website. Main app box that I would like to run 
this on a Windows 2008 Server x32, however, the same problems exists on a Win7 
box.

Please provide any additional information below.
I am a software dev by profession, so I downloaded the source and have built a 
local debug flavor of the app so I can try to catch the source of the null 
value exception and will update you on that. However, the source seems to be 
missing a few things (perhaps they did not get added to the svn repo?): 
1) downloader.cs file was missing, and I had to therefore comment out all code 
referencing that class. 
2) It also had a strong name build problem when referencing the 
Video.FFMPEG.dll. To that end, I changed the post build command on the 
Video.FFMPEG project to the path of SN on my machine as well as using VS Macros 
in the command string ("c:\my machine path to \sn.exe" -R 
"$(TargetDir)AForge.Video.FFMPEG.dll" "$(ProjectDir)AForge.Video.FFMPEG.snk"
3) Video.FFMPEG was not getting built with any version info. Added version 
resource file and resource.h to resolve.
4) Had to change the post build command on iSpyApplication to "rem call 
"$(SolutionDir)signing\iSpyApplication.bat"" because the signing folder was 
absent in the downloaded svn source.

As a side note: I discovered this project after I had build my own app using 
the AForge projects, and was looking around for some way to "serve" the video 
in a way to view it over the internet when away from home. Given that this 
project is way beyond what I was doing, I decided to give it a whirl. I had 
just a few DLink IP cams, but after a recent breakin, I decided to get a few 
more. The D-ViewCam software is okay for the DLink cams, but I have since 
purchased some outdoor HooToo cams that the D-ViewCam software will not use, so 
need something that is all inclusive. This looks like it will be more than 
sufficient, if I can just solve the app crashes for the null values.

Thanks for the great project and will let you know what I find.
