2 years ago I think the best solution with a P0H is to discard the repeats. In this case, the begin will fire a start on 2022-03-29T07:00:00 and an end trigger on 2022-03-29T22:00:00.
In general, the player should never hang but continue to poll. I can imagine a nighmare scenario if a bug in creating SMIL comes about it could freeze all players.
Full Ack! There is a mechanism required that in the case of a non-valid XML and no previous index.smil is in cache an alternative SMIL will be displayed. That would also cover #22

Specifying invalid seq tag causes player to hang:
example is using this:
<seq begin="wallclock(R/2022-03-29T07:00:00/P0H)" end="wallclock(R/2022-03-29T22:00:00/P0H)">The expected behavior, I would think, would be to display nothing and continue to poll for smil as usual. Also something should be logged to event_log.xml saying there's an error loading smil with a meaningful message.
