Music now playing queue across devices

[TheShanMan 40]

Today I thought how nice it would be if I could start playing music on one device (e.g. computer #1), and then when I move around (like to computer #2, or somewhere where I only have my phone), I pause on the 1st device and then resume the now playing queue on the other device. But it appears one device has no awareness of what was playing on another device.

Any chance of adding such a feature or option? I don't know how common of a use case this would be, but I've never been one to do much with music in Emby, and this kind of feature would probably make a big difference in choosing Emby for listening to my music.

Hi, yes this is planned for future updates. Thanks.

SWEET! I'm guessing I shouldn't hold my breath though (not "soon").

This would be a huge plus! I am currently using another service for my music and everything for Emby seems to work correctly, but it is lacking this feature. I too hope it’s added soon!

Hello @Luke- is there any update on this feature? Especially when moving from phone/computer playback over to Android Auto. 
I've been slowly migrating my Audiobooks and Music libraries over to Emby to cut a few cords and this feature of a constant queue or playback between devices accessing the same profile would be a key feature I'd suggest adding for fluid usability. 

Thanks.

HI, yes this is something we'll be looking at in the near future. Thanks.
