REPRODUCIBLE: YES

This apparently was also happening in the previous release, but since very few of my users use the web interface to play media, I haven't heard of the issue until now. I am able to reproduce it myself, though. Upgrade to latest release as noted in this report didn't help.
When I click any media to play, I get a popup on the bottom that indicates the music will be added to the playqueue. However, in the player at the bottom of the screen, no songs ever get added, and therefore never play.
I'm guessing this is the HTML5 player, but I can no longer find the option to switch between the Flash and HTML5 player. I'm not even sure Chrome likes Flash anymore.
In Firefox, the player's "play" button simply spins, but otherwise the same behavior.
Microsoft Edge was right out...just a big black frame covering most of the screen.
This was tried on Windows 7 and Windows 10. I personally know this has worked in the past since I've used it at times.
