Additional information

Due Diligence:
Searched on is:issue Playlist and looked at current posts tied to v0.27.2

Very similar to #11375 but this issue was closed without an answer so I did not try to add on to it. There was also a duplicate tag applied at some point but I could not see which issue it was duplicating.

Sort of similar to #11278 but in my case I don't have to go to fullscreen, return to playlist mode, or swipe to cause the crash.

Clearing Metadata did not solve the issue.

Other hits were either different problems and/or tied to older versions.

Duplicate of #11356

[OldGuyInTheClub]

Ok but I thought I followed the template. To me it wasn't clear that 11356 applied since it was not tied to playlists. My setup only fails on playlists, not one-off videos.

If the crash report is exactly the same, it's better to err on the side of caution, and leave a comment on an existing issue with your own specific variation of the bug. If it turns out to be a different bug entirely, then someone will ask for a separate issue to be opened.

[OldGuyInTheClub]

Ok, thanks. I'll follow this in future.
