+### How Playback Works
+
+1. **Cast Request**: User selects an LMS player from Jellyfin's "Play On" menu
+2. **Loading**: Plugin sends play command to LMS and transitions to Loading state
+3. **Confirmation**: Plugin polls LMS until playback is confirmed (mode="play")
+4. **Playing**: Playback is active; progress is synced between Jellyfin and LMS
+5. **Controls**: Play, pause, seek, and volume commands are forwarded to LMS
+
+### Error Handling
+
+The state machine includes automatic retry with exponential backoff:
+- **Timeout errors**: Auto-retry up to 2 times (500ms → 1s delay)
+- **Network errors**: Auto-retry up to 2 times
+- **LMS errors**: No retry, transition to Error state
