"Album" tab stuck on "Loading..." while Auto rescan is performed at startup

Description

If "Auto rescan" is enabled in VLC settings, when launching the app, the Album tab stays blank and no music can be launched from here until the full scan is completed, which takes several minutes on my setup (I have about 13,000 songs on a Class 10 microSD card, so I'm not sure if the long scan time is an expected behavior in my case). The "Tracks" tab is immediatly populated and usable, however.

Expected behavior

The Album tab is instantly populated and usable

Actual behavior

The Album tab only displays a "Loading..." message

Steps to reproduce

1. Add files to the media library
2. In the app settings, check "Auto rescan"
3. Close and reopen the app, then check the Album tab
