I've experienced the same phenomenon, although the Playlists would
stop randomly, though they appear to be playing in the web admin. I
have gotten around this by starting the Playlists from the command
line and bypassing the web admin for Playlists. None have stopped
since starting them this way. There has been earlier traffic on this
list about this problem, and I hope there will be a fix in a
forthcoming release.
Apple's TIL article 60463 has info on running PlaylistBroadcaster
from the command line ... and while the instructions are for QTSS
1.0.2, everything should work the same for later versions (in my
experience).

Thanks for telling us this. This problem has been a mystery for a
while now and you just shed some light on it.
One further clarification though:
It's important to understand that if you start the playlist from the
command line you will not be able to control it from the web admin.
Nor will its status or details be visible in the web admin unless you
follow the code conventions used by the underlying Perl code that
manages these processes. (I know because I am the culprit who wrote
most of Perl code that performs these functions.)
