Hi Erland, I'm seeing the same or a very similar problem with dynamic playlists (I ended up trying the plugin out on the weekend after discovering the braindeath in the way the latest version of the server handles long playlists).
Here is a chunk of diagnostic information: - Dynamic playlists work fine provided I set "Random saved playlists" to Ordered. Snappy response and well behaved. - When I switch "Random saved playlists" to Random, everything goes to hell in a handbasket. If I try to play any long static playlist (1000+), my server goes into meltdown for about thirty minutes before bringing up the playlist. At the end of this time, the playlist shows on the web UI, but doesn't update properly, and player may hang (I've seen the hang a couple of times, but haven't confirmed it happens every time). The key factor in this appears to be mysqld.exe hitting 50% CPU for the duration. I didn't do detailed testing on the following, but I believe this applies even for shorter playlists, and turning on the dynamic playlist random play also kills responsiveness in other areas of the UI, such as reading log files (this one threw me a bit). Running Windows on a single core Atom netbook.
