Expected Behavior

Plays a playlist of mp3 files with the vlc video source without skipping the first and last second of each file.

Current Behavior

When playing a list of mp3 files with the vlc video source, it skips the first and last second (aprox.) of each mp3.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Add an vlc video source with some mp3 files that start immediately and do not have one or more seconds of silence before starting
  2. Each mp3 file skips the first and the last second
Anything else we should know?

I have tried with several versions of VLC player 64bit with the same result (2.2.8, 3.0.0, 3.0.10, 3.0.16 and 3.0.17.4).

Tested in another pc with a similar config (i7 6700, GTX980, WIN10).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the VLC video source playlist behavior on Windows 10 with MP3 files that begin immediately, and inspect the supplied OBS log. The issue is done when playlist items no longer skip approximately the first and last second of each file.
