Are these relative paths problems?  
crash log would help prove that.  If so, this was a known issue and is fixed
post-6.0.2

The customer may want to confirm after testing with 6.1 nightlies.

no i don't think it's a relative path issue, since the files are referenced on
an smb share.

i'll ask about 6.1.  he had been using a recent nightly of 6.0.3...

The actual crash message would still be very useful.  Generally, testing a
playlist for me never helps when the playlist is already referencing
non-existent data on my system. from inspection, nothing stands out as a bad
thing, though I dont know what all the cid and tid info indicates.

here's the text from event viewer about the crashes:

Det g�r inte att hitta en beskrivning f�r h�ndelse-ID 0 i k�llan Application.

aha!

Here is the line that is the problem:
	if (exists($wpl_playlist->{body}->{seq}->{media})) {

		for my $entry_info (@{$wpl_playlist->{body}->{seq}->{media}}) {

now, in 6.1 current svn, this looks like this:
	if (exists($wpl_playlist->{body}->{seq}->{media})) {
		
		my @media;
		if (ref $wpl_playlist->{body}->{seq}->{media} ne 'ARRAY') {
			push @media, $wpl_playlist->{body}->{seq}->{media};
		} else {
			@media = @{$wpl_playlist->{body}->{seq}->{media}};
		}
		
		for my $entry_info (@media) {

In the first, the non-array reference causes a crash.  The second checks for
this case and handles it.  

Have the customer try 6.1.  I'm certain it should perform much better

thanks, KP, for all chasing on this.

This should be fixed in the 6.1 nightlies.  Please try that and confirm.  Thanks.

There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006.  I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
