Playlist repeat often stops spontaneously
-
In this case, I'm basically looking to play one song on repeat indefinitely.
I have a playlist that contains just the one song. It's 2:46 long. I have repeat mode set to "repeat playlist" in the menu at the bottom of the window (between where it says "1 track(s) - [ 2:46 ]" and the progress bar showing my position in the track).
My general method is to bring up Strawberry, start the playlist, minimize Strawberry, and do other things on my PC. The problem I'm encountering is that while this mostly works, it's pretty frequent that Strawberry spontaneously stops playback when the song gets to the 2:42 mark. It's always at 2:42. I think I can rule out the idea that I'm providing input that causes playback to stop. When this happens, I need to bring the Strawberry window back up and resume playback; hitting space causes playback to resume from 2:42, which would make sense in most contexts, but here it'd be better to "resume" from 0:00.
How do I stop this from happening?

What audio format is the file you are playing? Does the issue occur with one specific file, or all?
What Output is set in the Backend Settings? -
Audio format: opus ("Audio: opus, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp", according to ffprobe.)
The Output in the Backend settings is "Wrapper audio sink for automatically detected audio sink".
I vaguely recall similar issues with other playlists (featuring other files), but I'll have to experiment for a definitive answer to that question.

I put on another playlist; it managed to go for quite a while without doing this, but ultimately exhibited exactly the same problem.
Playlist characteristics:
5 tracks
3:36
4:28
7:13
3:08
5:42All songs are .opus files, played from local hard drive. "Repeat playlist" is selected.
Strawberry paused playback at 3:04 on the fourth track, without input from me.

Sooooo... is there a way to stop this? Known bug? Intended behavior?
It kind of defeats the purpose of repeat mode, as far as I can tell, to just stop playing.
