Settings and activity

This is still a problem for many developers, and makes a poor experience for users. I hope they implement this soon

Don't know why my previous comment was deleted, but this is a really important suggestion and implementation is long overdue. It provides a really bad user experience having to do this full invocation each time

This is actually something that is currently being done by my app, and also other apps like Anypod and "The Blind Side Podcast" skill.

However, the problem with all of these is that you have to do a full invocation, ie: "ask my skill to rewind 30 seconds".
It would be a lot better if it didn't require a full invocation, and so please vote on this idea:

EDIT: I would guess that many developers use the "wrap http-only audio in an https playlist" workaround. It's actually this that triggers the bug - when audio plays from a playlist, the playbackNearlyFinished doesn't work reliably. When https tracks are played directly, it seems to work fine.
