Playlist Videos Only Playing as Audio - obsoleteBITW - 2025-01-28

I am using the up to date Jellyfin app on Firestick 4K and have began making playlists. I can add the videos to the playlist and even update the playlist image via the web client, but the Firestick playback has major issues. I will click "play all" or "shuffle all" on the playlist and there begins a popup in the top of the screen with the episode title and thumbnail image. Sometimes I will get audio for the playback and sometimes I will not. From research I have done, it appears that it is thinking that the episode or movie is music file and is trying to play it like a song in the background. It appears that not all playlists will do this or it is very inconsistent. I have tried creating playlists via the iOS app and playback seems to be more consistent. Does anyone have any fixes?

Mixed playlists are not supported at this time. I believe it will default to audio only if there are any audio tracks in the playlist. This is a known issue inherited from Emby and requires a lot of rework to fix, which is an ongoing effort.
