Hello:
I've installed MC 34 on my Raspberry Pi 4. There are two problems that I can identify:
1. The browser engine does not work.
2. MC 34 will start a song from my library, play it for a minute or two, then the whole program locks up tight. Nothing works. I must 'kill' it to make it go away.
PS MC 34 is working fine on my PC running Linux Mint. :)

Pretty sure the first is a known issue. The second issue is pretty strange, you might have to enable logging for that one and reproduce the issue and see what the log says.

You might also want to monitor your memory and disk space as this is happening. Pi's don't always have a ton of memory or disk space available and I used to run into issues occasionally where MC would sometimes create memory pressure on the Pi which can lead to lock ups. If that's the issue, you can often ameliorate the issue by tweaking some settings (reducing thumbnailing priority, turning off memory playback, etc.).
I'd suggest setting up a terminal watching free -h and df -h just to get a sense of whether the lock up is something internal to MC or a resource problem.

Could be related. Sometimes the chromium failure isn't immediately fatal.
Try starting from the command line
