Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the abs app
  2. Make sure that you are connected to a server
  3. Start a downloaded audiobook: "Open Listening Sessions" is not updated
  4. Start a stream of a sever-only audiobook: "Open Listening Sessions" is updated

Expected behaviour

I'd expect the "Open Listening Sessions" to update even for offline media as long as a connection to the server is established.

Actual behaviour

The "Open Listening Sessions" is not updated when playing offline media while connected. This would be super useful though for API requests concerning the active sessions, so that I know when really no user is playing anything anymore.

Environment data

Server version: 2.7.2

App Version: 0.9.71-beta

  • Android App?
  • iOS App?

Android Issue

Android version: 13
