Attempting to load a folder silently fails

[BrodieRobertson]

I'm unsure if this is a bug in the file picker or the media player itself but if you try to select a folder and open that in the media player it silently fails, the file picker stays open and nothing happens.

Also getting this. Running through the terminal I get these errors on Alpha 5.

As a note I can open audio files such as .opus and .wav

It is expected that a media file must be selected to play media. Currently, COSMIC Player does not support queuing media files to load an entire directory.

If a file is selected, it plays without any issues

The issue isn't that COSMIC player doesn't support queuing a folder, the issue is if you try to open a folder absolutely nothing happens, it doesn't give you an error, it just silently fails.
