Dave,
I've just tracked down an issue which has happened off and on over the years
As you know I primarily use party mode for playing music
Occasionally the system appears to go into a very fast loop selecting a track but never actually playing it
So if you are watching the current playlist screen it just seems to cycle very fast through the tracks
It happened again to today so I decided to investigate
My issue was that the usb connected disk with the music on it had for some reason gone offline, I don't know why and that's a separate investigation for me
When it happens its hard to even close Kodi down and I usually end up killing the process with the task manager
My request would be as follows
if playing music in party mode and say 10 consecutive tracks can not be accessed (or any other reasonable number), then party mode terminates with some sort of error message
It should be easy to replicate the issue by renaming the folder containing your music
then starting kodi and selecting party mode
then goto currently playing screen
Here is an edited log with the directory scanning removed to get below the pastebin 512k limit

Look forward to your thoughts
