VLC Crashes using large playlists

[maliqua]

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed this, but it seems using very large playlists makes vlc on windows very unhappy and sometimes crashes just loading the list. I have a large media collection and sometimes just like to throw it on random and sit back,

oh by large i mean aproximately 30,000 items in it, I'm wondering if this problem is something anyone else has had and perhaps found a work around for

Have you tried nightly builds?

[maliqua]

no but I've checked through the developers wiki and subversion comments, i haven't seen any changes relavent to the playlist functionality

[funman]

there has been major changes in playlist between 0.8.6 and 0.9.0

[maliqua]

yep in the interface there seems to be no relevant changes, and just for kicks I tried all of this weeks builds no change same issues.

i find most of the time it fails emidiately when the playlist is opened the nightly builds have only proven to be less stable, I have the same issue on OS X vlc but not on linux or freebsd for some reason

I'm also experiencing this crash with a small playlist on the Windows 0.8.6c release.

Steps to reproduce:
- open a video
- add a 2nd video to the playlist
- play 2nd video by 2x-clicking on it
- while it plays, add 5-6 bookmarks
- save playlist
- reload it
- 2xclick on the 2nd video to play it
