Hello,

We have to find a solution for this, a own nam is not the correct
solution imho. Will check where this authorization comes from and what
can be done to avoid it.

Yes, closing Amarok is of course sth that needs consideration, sending
a Status Update every Minute is still not the correct thing to do,
imagine just 100 Amarok User listening to Podcast at the same Time,
would make (at least) 100 Requests/Minute, just from these 100 Users.

So our problem is: We need to make sure that the last Request to
upload an Episode Action was received by gpodder.net. Anyone has an
Idea how to do this, can we do this in Amarok or do I need to
implement Support for that in the Library.

Yes, I saw that it was saved, but if I start the Podcast Episode again
at 00:00:00 and listen till 00:05:00 it shouldn't show 00:15:00 to
00:20:00 just because I listened before till 00:15:00.
