"Skipping file because it is known to be not playable" endless loop  
Hi all,

I've just ran into an issue regarding the automatic skipping of already known unplayable tracks (just did a touch to 
create some files). In my use case i had a tracksession consisting of ONLY unplayable tracks. If I fire a 'mmecli 
play_extended offset 0' on this tracksession, the mme skips as assumed from track to track with the message:

 'Skipping file because it is known to be not playable. fid=251, filename='/net/mmx.mibhigh.net/fs/sdb0//Gemischt/error 
testing/only corrupt files//3empty.mp3'

Unfortunately the mme doesn't recognize the end of the tracksession and therefore loops until forever. At this point the
 mme is unresponsive as well. So it's not possible to call a stop or any other command.

There are eleven entries within my tracksession:
Jan 01 01:26:04    5    27     0 MME:_play(3229): Skipping file because it is known to be not playable. fid=249,

Daniel,

This is a side-effect of a change we made to not count "known 
not-playable" files as play errors.  But it is a bug--we missed this 
case.  We will have to fix this.
