Music started via remote control does not always play

    Hello!


    I am using LibreELEC 12 (nightly-20231216-63347fc) on a RaspberryPi 5. Attached to it, I use some generic I2S audio hardware via the hifiberry overlay. Music is supplied by the "Jellyfin" plugin that connects to my server for media.

    From the Kodi interface, I can browse and play music, shows, movies, etc. without any issue. However, that changes, when I use a remote control (happens with both KORE and Yatse) for initiating playback. Then, playing a single song directly only works every second or third time. Playing a show always works fine. Choosing to play all songs of an album also works.

    See this log of attempting to play two individual songs (starting around 2023-12-17 00:03:31.532 T:1001:( https://paste.libreelec.tv/outgoing-pony.log

    The first song plays, the second song fails. It appears like the second song was not found for some reason. I can repeatedly attempt playing a song, and at some point it will start.

    Do you have some insight for debugging this further?

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm not seeing any issues with audio file playback using normal Kodi so it's probably best to report this to Jellfin add-on devs via the Kodi forum (as likely something specific to that add-on).

    Well, I think I found the issue.

    I tried setting up LE 11 on a Raspberry Pi 4 with all stable software, and everything worked initially. Then, I customized the experience piece by piece, until I broke it again.

    The culprit was, confusingly, the skin I chose: "Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded". Maybe its always visible "Now playing" view influences the startup of playback. I will try to report this fact to the author of the skin.
