What problem does this solve?
When someone plays a game through the plugin, nothing shows up anywhere as an active session. The Jellyfin dashboard shows the client connected but idle, and /Sessions has no NowPlayingItem for it.
It would be helpful for keeping an eye on things, as well as for stats/reporting.
Proposed solution
The plugin registers and clears the session so a game shows up on the dashboard
like any other playback, ideally with the title, system and box art it already
has for that game.
Area
Games / Emulators
Client impact
I think client impact would be minimal, sessions currently report for other media types.
Alternatives considered
N/A
Additional context
I searched open/closed issues, I dont think this is a duplicate. I just feel since we've added games as a media type they should be handled the same with regards to session reporting.
