Looks like it isn't in the skip count.

I've changed the respective line in otgsync to

  $el->{file}->{played_flag} = 1 if ($el->{file}->{playcount} > 0 || 
$el->{file}->{skipcount} > 0);

but it seems like "$plcref->{skipcount}{int(@keeper)-1};" is zero. no
matter if you skip quickly or if you listen to the podcast for 10
seconds ..

however the information about wether a podcast has been played already
seems to be stored somewhere else on the ipod. at least it seems to survive 
a reboot so it isn't just held in RAM.


any luck reproducing that behaviour?
