Steps to reproduce
- Navigate to an audio file such as a .wav file that is not downloaded
- Click on the file to open
Expected behaviour
In previous versions of the app, the audio would start immediately even if a file was not downloaded.
Actual behaviour
The icon for an audio file is shown. The app then downloads the audio file in the background in its entirety and, once it鈥榮 fully downloaded, shows the regular interface for playing audio files. For larger .wav files this usually means a long wait until the audio can be played.
On the same server the preview works regularly using the web interface, which leads me to believe that the issue is related to the app.
