FPP 5.x Video Output Stutter & Freeze issue FREE FIX! 

I THINK I FOUND THE ISSUE & A FREE FIX! And get this....it's an AUDIO issue! And I'm the audio guy, go figure.
Problem: FPP 5.x will start playing back video out via HDMI, then video will start to stutter, then eventually freeze. FPP GUI still accessible. These videos worked on past FPP versions.
Issue: FPP 5.x uses VLC engine playback and video files without an audio file encoded with them will stutter & eventually freeze.
Solution: Rerender file so that it has an audio file encoded with it, even if audio file is silence.

For those experiencing this issue I still need testers if this works consistently I can make a slightly more polished & shorter one: • FPP 5.x Video Output S...
For the tireless FPP developers who we deeply admire & appreciate, maybe a fix can be found for video playback of video files without an audio track which causes the video to stutter & freeze so people don't have to convert their files.
