I have "blank" songs that when played do not advance to the next track.
My songs are in FLAC format on my NAS. Some albums are incomplete. For these, I insert FLAC files of silence I created in Audacity that are about 1/4 of a second in length. These placeholder files only contain metadata to show a track is missing.
When I use Jellyfin through a Roku, those blank tracks load (there's a progress bar), may or may not play (hard to tell), and then the player does not advance to the next track.
I'm not even sure what to ask. Something like, is there something I need to do in creating those files so that Jellyfin will play them on a Roku (sort of like a line break or EOF in a text file)? Or is there a minimum file length?
FWIW: the files do advance when I use Jellyfin on the browser I use to maintain my NAS.
