Please describe your bug

In Folders view from Chrome (Windows) client some folders getting error while playing

I thought the problem lays within at folder structure at first since I had files at both library/folder/file and library/folder/subfolder/file levels.
But then created test folders with various depth combination and they all failed.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Add new folders/files in Music library
  2. Go to Dashboard -> Libraries
  3. Scan library for new and updated files
  4. Go to Display tab and make sure "Display a folder view to show plain media folders" is checked
  5. After scan is completed go to Home -> My Media -> Folders view
  6. Go to library ("Music")
  7. Click folder to play (folders sctructure can be found)
  8. Get Playback Error - This client isn't compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format.

Same files can be successfully played from Home -> My Media -> Music screen
