**Description of problem, include YAML if issue is related to notifications:**

When I'm browsing this folder via the website (I'm using Vivaldi, a chromium-based browser), I can drill into the folders and play any of the files without issue, no matter if I'm on my mobile device or a desktop. *However* via the Android Companion app, I can't even see the same media items, let alone play them.
