Crash while navigating in Movie Player

There are occasional crashes in the Movie Player (two reports in the forum) that appear to happen when the user presses OK on a folder while browsing.

The error is caused by the sort code for the file list trying to do an os.stat() call on "/media/autofs/VIDEO_TS.IFO/". A possible immediate cause is that VIDEO_TS.IFO is normally a directory/index file on a DVD, not a directory. So even if the file "/media/autofs/VIDEO_TS.IFO" exists, os.stat("/media/autofs/VIDEO_TS.IFO/") will fail, because it is equivalent to os.stat("/media/autofs/VIDEO_TS.IFO/."), which does not exist. But it also seems likely that "/media/autofs/VIDEO_TS.IFO" does not exist at all.

Reproduction steps

The two user reports for the crash are rather vague and aren't much help for reproducing the problem.

I haven't been able to reproduce the problem myself, but because there have been two independent forum posts of crash logs for ths crash, I've marked Reproducibility as "Rarely".
