Playing via the DLNA server doesn't change the playcount.

[r5yk5 12]

If I browse my collection,  using the DLNA server feature, and play some tracks I can see what I'm playing in the Emby dashboard. So presumably Emby knows I've played it.

How come the playcount isn't increased and it isn't in the activity section?

And it isn't scrobbled via the lastfm or listenbrainz plugins?

Thanks

Does DLNA specify an Emby user?  I presume not, so there is no way for Emby to know which user to attribute the play to.

You select the user in the DLNA settings. Maybe that's just for library access though.
