(This is where the freeze occurs. The list of available programs remains displayed on the screen, and the system does not immediately respond to additional button presses on the remote; rather, any additional presses seem to be queued up and then responded to after playback actually begins. No frontend log messages are shown until just before playback begins.)




These messages are logged just before playback begins
