Ok thanks.

Symfonium also handles resume points that I need to sync back when online. But Symfonium also have a configurable played percentage to set a media played so I need to still have control over a media playcount increasing or not.

I'll made some tests to see what I can do with 4.8.

 

@Luke Another last quick question about 4.8 

"ImageTags": {},
      "BackdropImageTags": [],
      "ParentLogoImageTag": "c35755887e519b922a6b62be16fee7a4",
      "PrimaryImageItemId": "1612",
      "PrimaryImageTag": "0a25f43ab57251278aceb40956d755d9"

Got an user that report that albums no more report ImageTags but still a PrimaryImageTag. But I can't reproduce on my library (I only get ImageTags and no PrimaryImageTag)

Any idea what changed to reproduce? Or is it now hidden under a new field to request in some cases but not the others?

Apologies for the delay.

When ImageTags.Primary is null, then check PrimaryImageTag and PrimaryImageItemId as a fallback.

This little snippet should work for just about anything:

var primaryImageTag = item.ImageTags?.Primary || item.PrimaryImageTag;
var imageItemId = item.PrimaryImageItemId || item.Id;

What's happening is an album doesn't have an image directly assigned to it, but one of it's songs does, so we're using PrimaryImageTag and PrimaryImageItemId to handle the inheritance from another item.

@LukeNo problem, this is what I did, just wanted confirmation that it was a normal check and that value was always a proper one to use.

 

When you have time the following is still an issue, dashboard hides when starting a new session, and how to manage fake sessions to display media played from external cache that still needs to be seen on dashboard so not really offline playback, just playback not from the server directly but online.
