Music Videos library - Artist page with videos showing - Play error

[visproduction 315]

This is more an Artist page issue.  If Play and Shuffle are not suppose to work in the Artist page, then they should not be available. My custom CSS does not turn these buttons on.  I just change the size and color.  CSS from Emby lists these buttons as .emby-button:not([disabled]); 

So, either fix these buttons so they work, or remove them from the Artist page.  When you go to each individual video media page, it plays back, as expected.  I think maybe this functionality was not tested.

Artist page
Click Play

100% of the time - No video available
Although videos are available in the artist's page list.

All videos play fine otherwise and use these codecs. .mp4 video

Hi, this should be resolved in the upcoming 4.8 server release. Thanks.

Hi, what does that mean exactly?

The error still happens on my gear with the new beta.  If you click on the lower thumbnail to the video it works fine.  I think the Artist page is not used a lot and probably few people have noticed that the play appears to be broken.  It can't be my CSS code.  The server is responded with a cannot find on the upper Play or Shuffle buttons, but plays the content fine on the thumbnail below.  I think your QA just missed this.  It's been broken for at least, 15 months since Sept '23.

I just tried on Emby Web with a music videos library on Emby Server 4.9.0.35

On the Artists page, The Play button worked for me - playing a previously played music video, but the Shuffle button gave a Playback Error - not same text as you had reported above in September 2023

SA
4.9.0.35 seems to be now fixed.  Great! 
.34 was not working, so maybe the update fixed it.
