Play count is broken

[ohadschn]

It shows as 0 for all tracks, including extremely popular ones:

This looks like a perfect first contribution opportunity for me.
Can I claim it?

[rwieruch]

Sure @yugoja :) Looking forward to it!

[ElishebaW]

Looks like this is still an issue. @yugoja Are you still working on this?

@ohadschn The API that is used to fetch the tracks does not return the count. In the response the playback_count is 0 for all the tracks.

"playback_count": 0

It used to work when I implemented it a while ago. I hope they didn't change the API.

[gokulchandra]

I checked it, the API sends 0 for all tracks. Maybe they provide this info through another API.

I guess it's just broken and nobody complained about it :)

Seems to be a bug that never fixed from 2016.
If you try their v2 api, you can get correct playback_count.
