Why don't you debug the problem on your end, and narrow down what type of channel it hangs on? then give me information about that channel?

Because I'm not a programmer and the last time I tried I got yelled at because I didn't know what I was talking about. This is why I haven't been speculating.

The channel it's grinding and hanging on is a version of A&E:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
    <name>A&amp;E</name>
    <match>one</match>
    <rule field="tvshow" operator="is">
        <value>Breakout Kings</value>
        <value>Kokoro Library</value>
        <value>Longmire</value>
        <value>Marmalade Boy</value>
    </rule>
    <limit>10</limit>
    <order direction="ascending">random</order>
</smartplaylist>

This gets created when I choose autotune and then after a bit everything stays hung until I give up and kill the app. The log is also full of references to plugins I do not have installed or use. What I don't understand is why using an earlier version of the plugin seems to work without issue on the same hardware, using the same media.

If there's something specific I can look for or test, please let me know. Otherwise I really don't know what to look for.
