Hi,
I have found that if XBMC finds an error with a playlist file (e.g invalid file name) it displays the following error:

Error
Playlist playback aborted
Too many consecutive failed items

and then stops and exits out of play mode. This is a bit cumbersome as it does not say where the error was (what file) and requires restart of playlist playback (after resolving the error)

Can I make the following suggestion?

1 - Display the file name together with the error message
2 - Have a configuration option to enable ignoring files with errors and continue playing the playlist.

Hope this helps
Regards

Said message only crops up if 100 files fail consecutively.

I think you'll agree that in this case it's best to cancel playlist playback (think of http streams for instance, which can take quite a while to parse).

i get this error alot, especially when dealing with xbmc-tv strm files. i'm only doing one file at a time, and the error is random (some times it'll play a stream, sometimes i'll get the error).
