My Question or Issue

I have playlists which contains "local" music files. When I'm at work, these files are not available, and are greyed out in the UI (Image 1). I listen to some of them without looping enabled (Image 2). However, when the playlist reaches the end of the queue, it begins again and refills the queue (Image 3).

This only happens when the playlist begins with an unavailable local file (I have not tested whether this happens when the file is available) and is NOT set to shuffle.

Replication

1. Create a playlist with some songs.

2. Add a local file to the beginning of the playlist.

3. Open the playlist on a different computer using Microsoft Edge.

4. Play the playlist without shuffle or loop enabled.

5. Reach the end of the queue.

6. Playlist loops, despite looping being disabled.

Reference Images

Image 1: The playlist begins with an unavailable local file.

Image 2: The queue reaches the end of the playlist. Both shuffle and loop are off.

Image 3: The playlist loops from the beginning.
