The error occurs after creating the playlists and event, and then clicking on the ads block.

It seems the error is in TimeStretch.
The start time calculation was quite accurate, however, the settings kept changing until they were disabled in the last two tracks.
I'm using the version 7.1.1.0

Now I update to the latest

What does the log say about it? Looks like start time was off for several seconds each time, maybe that's why in the end Time Stretch was not applied at all.

Thank you, we'll check it.

Sometimes, during custom encoding, the track cover art fails to encode, resulting in an error. When this happens, the broadcast stream gets stuck. This seems to be caused by large cover art files. This issue doesn't always happen. There can be hours without any problems, it's a rarely occurring issue.

AdsScheduler is performing better in our case now, but I think it's still not enough.
On the production PC, version 7.1.1.0x64 was taking 3 minutes to finish building all the blocks, and now version 7.1.1.1x64 takes 1 minute. That’s an improvement, but still quite slow.
The “Test all blocks” button continues to trigger the "Frozen" error several times, and eventually finishes after a long delay.
Our AdsScheduler.ini contains approximately 1800 ads, but most of them are either inactive or expired. We don’t delete them because it’s very common for them to be reactivated in the near future.
I ran a test leaving only the active ads (about 180), and the block-building time dropped to 15 seconds, although “Test all blocks” still gives the same error!
Maybe your algorithm could skip processing any ad that is inactive or expired. That might help reduce the time significantly, don’t you think?
