MacOS: When VLC is set to repeat a single song, and an unplayable file is selected, VLC UI becomes locked-up
OS: MacOS 12.6.1 Monterey VLC version: 3.0.17.3 Vetinari (Apple Silicon) Hardware: Macbook Pro 2021 (M1 Apple Silicon), native sound hardware
Steps to reproduce:
- set VLC to repeat 1 song using the button in the controls bar, near the play and stop buttons
- add a non-playable file to the playlist, for example an .asd (ableton metadata file) file (an example is attached Ivy_Lab_-All_Day_Swimming-7A-_130.01.flac.asd)
- press play with the file selected
VLC will now get hung up in presumably an infinite error loop, being unable to play the file. Normally VLC would proceed to the next media file in the playlist, but with Repeat 1 turned on, it seems to keep trying to play the file endlessly. This locks-up the UI ("spinning beach ball") and it becomes necessary to Force Quit VLC in MacOS.
Expected behaviour is that VLC should not re-try to play the file after the first failure.
