What happened?

If you create a chapter with a start time beyond the end of the book, there is an alert symbol with the message "Invalid start time must be less than audiobook duration". However, the play button still remains active, and clicking on the button results in a continuous circle.

What did you expect to happen?

An error message is thrown stating "Invalid start time must be less than audiobook duration".

Press the play button for that chapter.
