What happened?

When connecting and opening ABS on Android Auto, occasionally it defaults to the Downloads screen on the head unit. This has no way to go back or change to another view within the app, and the only way to continue listening or play a new book is to select it on the handset, at which time the app in AA kicks in and shows the now playing screen and returns to normal operation.

What did you expect to happen?

Plug in my phone, turn on car head unit and press play to continue listening to my book

Steps to reproduce the issue

I suspect that the phone app hasn't created a session to connect to the server so no information exists to show on the car's head unit, as each time this is an issue, the android phone app goes through a connection process to the server and then brings up the list of books as per normal

Audiobookshelf version

2.12.3

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Other (list in "Additional Notes" box)

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Logs

There doesn't seem to any associated logs

Additional Notes

Server is installed in an LXC Container on Proxmox
This issue only exists in the Android Auto environment.
