Music File Not Playing - An error occurred trying to play. Error code: s1001 (Network)

Server Version#: Version 1.32.7.7571
Player Version#: Version 4.116.1

I just added the latest Lil Wayne music album and for some reason the 3rd file is not playing through Plex. It originally wasn’t even recognized (showed up as a blank file with no metadata until i merged it with the properly recognized 9 tracks). It gives me error: “An error occurred trying to play “Slip”. Error code: s1001 (Network)”

The file isn’t corrupt and plays properly locally (tried both itunes and windows file explorer on my Windows VM in Unraid). I’m using Linuxserver Plex image. I tried cleaning database and bundles but didn’t do anything, as well as removing and re-adding the file multiple times and even downloading another copy of the “slip.mp3” file from a different location.

Any idea what’s going on here, is this a rogue plex update that caused this? i don’t think i have any issues with other media on my server otherwise.
