Bernd I can not tell you how this happened because, at that time I wasn't at the onair but at the production studio recording a jingle. That's why the 2 minutes of silence. I wasn't "online" that time.
When I finished recording, I went to OnAir studio and noticed that nothing was playing and I think I hit F9 to start playback again.
I have set to always record my 24hour program. That's how I found the time and length of the silence. I opened the recorded file into a DAW software. So when I say 12:12'47'' it's from recorded time and not from the debug log. But there should not be too much difference because the auto recording starts every hour at 00'.

I deeply looked into every possible details; but I can not reproduce the issue (the stop of the playlist) here - nor in my code!
The ONLY reason I can see is, that you might have enabled the 'Manual Live-Assist' mode, as only in this case any new program would be forced to start manually; which would turn off AutoPlay for that newly starting program/playlist. Could that be the case?
What I also do not understand is the following:
You are saying: "Also I don't know why, but about 12:12'47'' when a track finished, the next track did not start and I had to click F9 to start it (after 2 minutes of silence!)"
But from the logs, I do see the following:
a) a track stopped playing at 12:12'47
17/11/2014 12:12:49: DJPlayerReport: Player=C, Event=TrackStop: Γαργανουράκης Χαράλαμπος - Προσκυνώ τη χάρη σου λαέ μου
b) At 12:13'26 an overlay started to play
17/11/2014 12:13:26: Overlay '_1215_49@2014-11-17T12:15:02' DoPlayOverlay started.
c) this overlay was aborted/calcelled by the user at 12:13'59
17/11/2014 12:13:59: Overlay '_1215_49@2014-11-17T12:15:02' DoPlayOverlay cancelled by User (B).

So the log's does not really match what you experienced (2 minutes of silence); however it does indeed look, like AutoPlay must have been turned OFF (i.e. my the 'Manual Live-Assist' mode setting)?!

So who cancelled the overlay then? Strange...
But could it be, that 'Manual Live-Assist' was enabled?!

In v3.0.14.23 I added a few more checks, which hopefully prevent the script/not playing scenario (as this was due to an incorrect shared path mapping caused by creating the scheduler/script from a remote machine).
However, the other issue was for sure related to the fact, that 'Manual Live-Assist' was enabled.
