When songs are played they don't necessarily update the server's most recently played list. I think this happens for already cached songs but I'm not positive. I noticed this around the same time one of the server version 5 betas was released so I thought it was a server bug, but today after some messing around I realized that when I play songs from the web app the recently played list updates appropriately but not necessarily the case for dsub plays.

It is a server issue. The server registers a download as a play, and there is no other method to register a play from the API. So as the app caches ahead of time each song will be registered as a play when it is downloaded not when it is played. There is no way to work around this unless Sindre both adds a way to say a download is not a play and to register a play event separate from the download.

Has anything changed with respect to this issue? It would be awesome if the play count and last played could be updated when songs are played in DSub.

No there is still no way for a client app to manage it due to missing API methods.

Sindre is aware of this issue, as it affects the official Android app (and any derived from it).

It would be cool if something was implemented in a future release. Not a huge deal though. I cobbled together a script on my server that approximates this functionality. It ain't pretty but it works OK.
