12.7.1.14 iTunes stops playing after a few songs
Note, continues to happen in iTunes 12.7.2.58 and MacOS 10.13.2
How do I keep iTunes from stopping after playing only a few songs?
Immediately after upgrading to MacOS 10.13.1 from 10.12.x (the last version), iTunes will only play a few songs at a time before stopping. It loads the next song on the playlist and sends notification, but stops. It starts again if I press play, use an IR remote, or use the media key on my keyboard.
I am, however, unable to contact iTunes from the Remote App on iPad nor iPhone when this happens. I've connected via Home Sharing and using PIN pairing, but Remote App won't connect if iTunes stops on its own.
I have deleted the com.apple.iTunes.plist file and restarted a few times without success. Signing out and back into the iTunes store (under Accounts) sometimes causes iTunes to continue for a few hours without stopping.
Looking at Console (iTunes process), I notice two odd errors happen every time iTunes stops:
- Month 13 is out of bounds (this will often happen many, many times in a second)
- Request: playbackQueue D73715CF-1B44-40AD-B956-536BF79BFB2B/M/R[0:1] for origin-1280262988/client-com.apple.iTunes-710/player-MediaRemote-DefaultPlayer is short-circuting
