Describe the Bug

Scrobbling behavior works as expected when playing tracks in Plexamp on the local device (e.g., on my laptop). But, when I attempt to play a track on my Sonos via Plexamp the track is not scrobbled. MS picks up that the track is playing, but the status shows as Unknown and the track progress doesn't update. The logging shows a message suggesting the player was seeked backwards 35s (it's always this value).

Pretty odd behavior, doesn't seem to be covered anywhere in the config or open issues.
