Can you post the full text of the error, instead of a screenshot? There is usually useful stuff at the bottom. :)
Preferably save it in a text file, and attach that here.

Two songs played.  May have restarted my playlist before sending.

Please post the full Apple "Problem Report" log, the JRiver log isn't very helpful on crashes like this on OSX.

Maybe I should start a new thread.  OS X doesn't crash.  JRiver just freezes and stops playing after about 4 to 5 songs.  I can restart MC and then the whole thing is repeated (4/5 songs)

I can play iTunes  :( for days at a time without any network hiccups, yet still not play JR past three songs without stopping.

The macOS Crash Report is still the best tool for looking at this, could you post the full report?

Try turning off autoimport.

I also experience frequent freezes, crashes and intermittent drop outs.

Sometimes the Media Center / Quit is the only thing that works when frozen.....and sometimes a Force Quit is necessary.

Jim, that causes the playlist to clear leaving only one song on repeat.  Or, oddly, MC will play a song and shuffle current artist w/o playing the playlist of 5 star songs.

The most MC will play is four, sometimes five songs.  That's it.  OS X doesn't crash, MC just stops playing.

Could it be a problem with El Capitan?  If so, I can't upgrade any higher on my Mac Pro.

I reinstalled MC 24 w/ MC 25 library.  No problems for 70 tracks (various bitrate/depth).

This is the only time MC has crashed OS X.  It's 24, but may help in 25?
