Describe the Feature/Enhancement

If you cast your audiobook to a speaker it shows you the progress in the app and lets you control it, but if the app is in the background for some time it will lose the connection the speaker (the speaker will still play the audio without interruption).

There should be a way that the app auto discovers the speaker if a speaker plays the media after loosing the connection.

Why would this be helpful?

Often the app looses the connection to the chromecast speaker after being in the background for some time.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

I see two ways to implement it.

Combine it with #3213 (server) would properly be the most convenient solution (allow to switch between devices and speaker via drop down or ...)
Each app searches the local net for chromecast devices playing audiobookshelf and than connects to the server.

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.9.78
