[HALF-SUCCESS] iTunes 12.7 constantly crashing (random messages)

It's definitely an issue with Graphics. My system has been hard crashing with Intel Graphic issues.. Can't find what it is tried a massive combination of settings / kexts / no kexts. iTunes definitely crashes when Hardware encoding is enabled and is stable when not. My system still does a hard reboot from time to time triggered by Intel HD graphics I think .. screen wake and multiple windows trigger it ... iTunes triggers it most... :(
 
It should be a GVA issue, my HD630 (IQSV enabled) does not have any issue with iTune in 10.13.1 beta 2, therefore I copy AppleGVA.framework to another Hack (HD510 + HD6450 IQSV enabled) have iTune issue for test, it work correctly with 10.13 17A405.

Now prepare fresh install 10.13.1 beta 3 with HD510 + HD6450, I think issue should be corrected in this version.
 
Fresh install High Sierra 10.13.1 beta 3, iTune issue still exist (both 12.6 and 12.7), after resetting DRM and update_dyld_shared_cache, playing several albums, trailers, system seems to be stable no more crash. In this version, issue should not related to IQSV. Will update result after running several days.

Attached files are recent result and crash log.

After AppleGVA.framework replaced, reboot with -shikioff,
...

Using these parameter just disable the capability to play DRM content; an easiest way is directly remove the kext.

No, -shikioff is needed only when update_dyld_shared_cache, after update_dyld_shared_cache, need re-enable shiki otherwise iTune not work properly.

Hi sherlocks - All that you have described I have suffered with iTune but definitely fixed with method in post #165. My rig is running Mac model 15.1 and running macOS High Sierra released version (17A 405) no betas haven't tried with betas.

So far, still stable, lets test for longer time.

Hope that, it will be soon fixed, may be next beta version.
