Anyone else experiencing(ed) this problem on Eden when playing audio files? I've installed three different versions of Eden on Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10) and they're all exhibiting the same problem when trying to play audio files.

Version 2:11.0-0~ppa1`oneiric obtained here - https://launchpad.net/~nathan-renniewald...bmc-stable
Version 2:11.0~git20120321.feb09-0ubuntu`oneiric obtained here - https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ppa
and an "unstable RC2" version installed with these instructions - http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...ht=oneiric

All vanilla installs with no addons.

All do the same thing on two different machines (both Intel core 2 duo) When trying to play any audio file the file won't play and a message appears in the lower right hand corner of the screen - in a blue box with a white letter "i" in it the first line is the word "Playlist" and the second says "can't find next item to play."

There are no playlist involved here and this message appears regardless what type of audio file is trying to be opened and regardless it's location (network server, individual file on a usb drive etc.

Audio is fine on video files so I don't think it's a hardware issue

I am encountering nearly the same issue since yesterday after building from the latest source. I can still play music using my normal IR remote control. In my case I get your error message when I attempt to play music from library (artist, song etc.) on the Android remote app. Navigating to the file and tapping still works as always. Just putting this down in case the devs need more info.

I'm having the exact same issue, has anyone found a resolution? Using the XMBC app on android, when I tap on a song I recieve the following message on my xbmc tv display " (i) Playlist can't find the next item to play." I am not using a playlist, picking the song manually. In xbmc on my pc all songs play fine, this is only an issue when picking a song through the xbmc app on my android phone.

Things I've tried: Re-installing xbmc eden, re-installing xbmc android app (both phone and tablet), unsharing and resharing files. HELP!! Any ideas?
