I have exactly the same problem.
See ticket https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/15290

I can confirm this error happening for all mp3.
@dreaded369 commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2025):
In the browser this is where it happens:
Album archive view - click play button on album cover
Individual album view - click play button for whole album
Working fine:
Clicking individiual track
Right-click -> Play, Play from here

I am seeing the same behavior as @dreaded369. I am running Jellyfin 10.11.1 in Docker on Debian 13. This occurs when viewing from both Firefox and Brave. See attached video for exact steps.

I'm having similar issues with the 'playback error' with tv and movies, but my libraries are populated (though some movies etc. are missing).
@makakam83 commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2025):
My issue might be related. When I add a new TV show to the TV shows folder JF adds it automatically but it can't be played until a manual scan is done.
@kaincenteno commented on GitHub (Nov 25, 2025):
same issue here seeng it when trying to play an album. individual songs are okay.
tried the scan library several times and it didn't help
@theguymadmax commented on GitHub (Dec 1, 2025):
This issue (for both TV series seasons and albums) was caused by a migration bug from 10.10.x to 10.11.0(2). See here for details: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/14900#issuecomment-3550640140
You need to scan each of your libraries with the “scan for missing metadata" option.
Closing as a dupe of #14900
