Tried installing additional content on external drive, now LP 10.8.1 Hangs as soon as I open it.

LP 10.8.1, 2018 Macbook Air. I decided to move my library to my external Samsung 1TB drive. That seemed to work fine. Since I had plenty of room on it I decided to then download all the additional content. It was slow, and at some point it seemed to make LP hang, so I had to kill it and restart.

After several attempts, it appeared I had finally completed the downloads and it appeared to be installing the additional sounds, and then it hung up again.

Now when I open LP it just hangs, no windows, just the spinning ball when I hover over the menu items.

Oh update, now I can't even get the menus to show up!

So I deleted LP and the library, reinstalled it with the minimal sound library on the external drive. So far so good... I then downloaded the first bit of the additional library, then installed that... it appeared to be hanging but now seems ok. I wonder if there was some indexing issue when it installed the huge library on the external drive.

All I can tell you is that I just had a very similar problem with a 2020 M1 Air running Ventura 13.6.4 to a Samsung T7 drive.
I wouldn't hold my breath expecting any help from this site. 
My read/write speed is 670 MBs so indexing shouldn't be a problem.  
I finally got Logic working with the Library located on the external drive, but now 50% of the library shows up in the Library window as needing to be downloaded, despite the Sound Library Manager showing that everything is installed.
It's just the usual Apple/Logic BS.

Actually my setup is exactly the same, it is a 2020 air and the samsung T7, but I've updated to Sonoma. LP hung up again installing the second set of additional sounds.

I have two partitions on the drive, one for Time Machine backups and the other for general stuff, which is where I'm putting the library. We'll see what happens.
