Playlist resume issue

Err: -12, Playlist control file is invalid

I've been having that error message the last couple of weeks when resuming a genre based playlist 😉... hope somebody has a solution. (ipod classic 7gen with the latest daily build).
Everytime I resume a playlist (after a reboot) based on a specific genre, I get this error message (see link below) and a random playlist starts with the last played song and with a different number of songs.
No error message if I resume a playlist based on a specific artist or album. The playlist behaves as expected, resuming where it ended.

Getting -12 as an error generally indicates that your control file is corrupted.

Can you check first whether this is related to another recent bug report? Speachy has posted a few builds near the bottom of that page. Please try the following two builds and see if you can reproduce the issue in one of them:

https://www.shaftnet.org/~pizza/rockbox-ipod6g-1241018-ac46684d7f.zip
In case they work fine, please go back to the daily build. If you don't mind, upload the file that is named .playlist_control from your .rockbox folder (after recreating the issue). You may have to append a .txt extension to the file name to get it to upload here.

thanks, downloaded the files. They both parse successfully for me, so the corruption probably only occurs when opening them on device using an affected build.

The fact that it happens on the build from 10-18 but not 10-16 indicates it's likely down to the same cause as the bug report I linked to.

Thanks for the update 👍
I'll be using the 16 build the next few weeks I guess... thanks for sharing it.
I just wanted to thank you and the team for maintaining and developing Rockbox.... you're doing amazing job there.
