See Add reporting for details.
Sonos uses setPlayedSeconds to report play time on Sonos players. Sonos also uses these reports to support resumable content such as audio books. Sonos players send a final setPlayedSeconds report after 30 minutes of no playback activity to indicate that playback has stopped. Set the "Playback duration logging at track end" capability to receive these reports from players. See Add capabilities for details.

id | string | The ID of the played track. |
seconds | int | The total number of seconds for which the track played. Due to seeking or skipping back to the start, this may be longer than the total duration of the track.

Details
- This method enables the player to report how long a user listened to a particular item. The player sends this notification at the end of track playback whether through a skip, direct user action switching playback to another source, natural end of playback, end of queue, or other action.
- Particular sections of the song may be counted multiple times, such as when a user seeks or skips back to an earlier position in the track and resumes playback.
