No response when press on space bar to play a sequence in Premiere Pro

When I press the spacebar to play a sequence in Premiere Pro nothing happens for 2-3 minutes. Once it plays, it's fine, but everytime I stop it I have to wait a few minutes for it to play again when I press the space bar. I cleared the media cache on PP. I am editing off of an external hard drive because I'm low on space in my laptop. I've been editing for a while off of my external hard drive however and have never had this issue. What should I do to make it play normally again?

I had the same problem. It didn't hang for 2-3 minutes, but maybe 10 seconds, and then it would work for maybe 1 or 2 seconds before it would hang again. I spent probably around 10 hours troubleshooting it, trying everything I could find. Finally, I found that I had a corrupted file.  I ended up trashing my insta360stitcher.app, and another insta360.app, and now Premiere Pro works again. If you don't have those apps, maybe you have another app or plugin that could be corrupted.

Thank you for the advice. I'll take a look and see. I also found out that having 4k video might be why it's slow or getting stuck. I didn't know about working with proxies before. Also I think I'm low on memory so that might be a reason as well.
