When is PlayCount incremented?

[HawkXP71 120]

Can the algorithm that increments the PlayCount be described?

I am seeing some very inaccurate numbers, but I cant for the life of me determine what triggers the increment.

Its not marking it played.  That much I know.
But its also not "watched from intro end to credit start"

Is it watching for more than 1 minute? 30 seconds? 10 minutes?

TIA

Hi, it's as soon as you start playing.

I havent seen that to be the case.  Is there a minimum number of seconds?

it's as soon as the playing app sends their report to the server that they've started.

Ok, so there can be some variability.  Makes sense.

What about the "Playback Percentage" and location (I forget the exact wording of the fields.  The same?  As soon as the app sends back "stopped" ?

That I think is all throughout and at the end.

Correct.  Progress is kept up to date as you play.  I can 100% confirm this works because I've had the power go out while playing something and, when I bring it back up, it resumes at the last progress report (within 10 seconds of when it went down).
