Title: Shuffling playlists hangs [jimwallen]
Post by: jimwallen on May 29, 2015, 08:08:03 am

I found that a playlist of 4200 won't shuffle and crashes MC. I cut it in half and all runs fine. I don't know if that's MC or computer settings. -jim

If you can reproduce it, would you send a library backup to matt at jriver dot com?

I can't reproduce any problems shuffling even huge playlists.  But maybe if I had a library where the problem happens I'd have some luck.

Thanks.

Thanks for the library!

I think I figured it out.  The files can have links.  We expand the links as we shuffle.  However, they can create a circle.  File 1 calls for file 2.  File 2 calls for file 1.  And we've got an infinite loop.

I'm hoping the fix I made will work.

Please try next build.
