Issue description

I’m having issues with playback of tracks (FLAC) from a new source of music. Files seem fine, I edited the metadata, and played the music fine on my pc.

When I try to play just the music I imported from the new source I get, Error playing media, ensure that your player support it

And then it will go through all the tracks in that album quickly and return the same error. Until it says:

Too many errors stopping playback.

Please help guide me if it is an app thing I have to config or at least pinpoint where the issue is.

The files are invalid you can usually fix them with flac command line tool.
