Issue with SoundCloud extractor (NewPipeExtractor v0.24.8) on Hurtbox:
After loading a few tracks (tested 4), the extractor returns InfoItemsPage objects with 0 items but a non-null nextPage token, causing the client to loop on empty pages.
Behavior:
- Initial load: 0 items + valid nextPage.
- First 4 “load more” calls: 1 item each + new nextPage.
- From 5th call onward: empty pages + valid nextPage.
Suspected Cause: SoundCloud extractor generates nextPage tokens even for empty/unparseable pages. Ideally, it should return null/empty to signal the end.

Workaround:
- Detect consecutive empty pages client-side.
- Cleaner solution: fix the extractor to avoid returning tokens for empty pages.
