In the spirit of adding an issue that occurs without a socket connection, I get a wrong connection status indication. I still have connection and can do anything that I could normally do, however (including switch between books and podcasts now, thank you). Here's what I mean:

It says there is no connection, but is wrong:

The library dropdown was getting hidden when the socket wasn't connected but I don't think that was necessary so I removed it.

The mobile apps should be fully functional without a socket connection. The only downside is going to be getting real-time updates from the server. For example, if an item is added/updated on the server those updates come in from the socket connection. Or if you're using the web client to listen and you have the app open, you won't get the real-time progress updates so make sure to close the app when you're done.

Let me know if there are other issues you come across without a socket connection.

But isn't it correct that you don't have a web socket connection?
