finamp compatibility

I've noticed there's been a lot of talk about how and whether finamp should tell the server whether a song has been played. Therefore, I have the following question: Are songs played offline in finamp taken into account by Rewind?

Hi!

No, Finamp currently doesn't report playback when in offline mode, and Jellyfin or the Playback Reporting plugin currently offer no way to submit playback data for past playbacks.

There is a PR that aims to support storing playback data during offline playback (jmshrv/finamp#521), but there's little use for it at the moment, because as I said, Jellyfin doesn't support the use case yet.

Regular online playback is supported for all Jellyfin clients that support it (web, Finamp, Symfonium, Feishin/Sonixd are the ones I know of).

Hmm, thanks for the answer, I'll just stay in online mode then :D

Just a note, if you downloaded songs in Finamp it will actually use the downloaded songs instead of streaming from your server, even if you are in "Online" mode! So just download as much as you can, and you should get the best of both worlds :D

Wow great! This is particularly practical for me since we don't have that great cell phone coverage here...
