That's weird. Have you checked your files? I have .mp3 files playing just fine on my server.

yes, the files are not corrupted and can be played via any other player on the host. In the browser console I just get this Error: playbackmanager playback error type: mediadecodeerror

I noticed that FLAC files also won't play with the exact same error. Here is a mediainfo output from one of those FLAC files:

Any chance you could re-try this in the latest jellyfin and include the client OS?
