The problem

I was hoping that I can test the latest beta which should solve this issue: #3858

I have installed the normal MA and the beta MA, of course only one of the two is running.
When I run the latest normal MA, I can playback on the iOS device using "This device" (but it repeats after a minute or so, which is the issue that should be fixed with the latest beta).
However when I try to do the same on the latest beta MA, there is simply no playback. Playback just does not start.

When on beta MA and trying to playback on a Windows PC using Firefox with "This device", there is no problem, playback is possible. Issue seems to be on iOS devices only.

How to reproduce

Install the latest beta and try to play music on the local iOS device.
