My player hangs when I start the root playlist. The hourglass icon appears and then the player stops responding, both on the panel and remotely. Nothing appears on the serial port when the player hangs. I first noticed this when I upgraded to 20b3 but did not post this problem, assuming someone else would.

Now I see the problem remains in 20b7, and I also can't find any similar posts.

None of these options seem to matter

consumer or developer image

car or home operation

shuffle or no shuffle

rebuilding the database

I also created a named playlist containing all songs. This playlist hangs too. All other playlists play fine.

My two Travelstar 30 GB drives are almost filled with over 10.000 songs.

The next thing I'd try is reformat all drives and reinstall from scratch, but I'm reluctant to do that. I just might end up hitting the same problem (some limit?) again.

Any other ideas?

Thanks and happy new year,
Pim
