An example from Feishin (desktop music player).
The same endpoint you are blocking would also affect video progress tracking. If you stopped half way through a video it would not appear in "Continue watching".
I noticed that blocking Sessions/Playing/Progress endpoint alone does not change the "scrobbling" or transcoding behaviour - and video playback can still be continued from where it is closed - except when you abruptly close the browser so Sessions/Playing/Stopped cannot get to the server to update status, but that'll be the same with Sessions/Playing/Progress too.
Is there another use case for this call? And btw this seems like a good use case for an in-memory data store.
