Problem:
When playing music, it suddenly stops playing (in middle of a song). Happened several times. I have deleted old Music DB's, rebuilt etc. This happens with different SVN's (incl. last).

I believe I can see som kind of Windows activity going on (Win. trying to steal focus).

Hm, nothing player related inside.
However i see Device Lost errors from Directx, which may be related to the screen being destroyed somehow.
this could lead to a re-init, which may affect music.

Any "word of advice" on how this can be fixed?

Hi,
Do you turn off the monitor or something similar when you play music?

No. I don't touch anything at all. Very strange. My girlfriend in not happy

Hi,
If you can, test with something else as monitor then your lcd screen (if that is what you use). The logs indicates that screen it's lost & as hwahrmann say's it re-init & music stops.
Not seen anything like this on current MP, so it's a bit weird..

Regards

Well, I'll check the cables and if this does not fix anything, then I'll gie it a try on my monitor on Friday.
