Simple fix to allow for snappy playback - Fardenco - 2025-07-07

https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/3365/option-to-make-a-blank-file-read-when-a-client-connects-to-jellyfin-to-force-hdd-to-start-spinning

I submitted this simple idea that could greatly improve the experience on systems where the library is stored on HDDs that can be in sleep state.
What do you think about it ?

If you "Save artwork into media folders" in library settings it should have the same effect.

Wouldn't that just move the problem, causing the library itself to have a delay before loading while the disks are spinning up ?
