This has only started in one of the last three releases but I suspect it was added in 0.9.79-beta. I use ABS a lot and have only noticed it fairly recently.
This behaviour is particularly annoying because it happens all the time. I would normally pause the Audiobook e.g. to have a conversation, or do something requiring concentration, then put the phone down, and doh! the audiobook starts again.
It does not seem to happen if you use the button in the app.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
Ensure that you are using 0.9.79-beta version - currently the latest
Start playing an Audiobook with "Disable shake to reset" unchecked (so shake to reset is enabled)
Pause from Earbud.
Put phone down or bump it and Audiobook starts playing again.
What was Expected?
It shouldn't start playing again because you initiated the pause, not the sleep timer. In fact even when the sleep timer pauses it should not start again because it would have actually reached the pause and then should need a tap to start again.
It didn't do this in older versions. I have confirmed this by starting up my old Note 10+ and testing with the app version 0.9.76-beta where it behaved as expected. I then updated to the latest version 0.9.79-beta and changed nothing else, and it also now starts playing when first paused from earbuds and then when the phone is bumped.
Phone Model
Samsung Fold 4, Samsung buds+, also Note 10+
Phone OS
Android 14, One UI 6.1.1
Audiobookshelf App Version
Android App - 0.9.79
Installation Source
Google Play Store
Additional Notes
The current workaround for me is to disable shake to reset.
I'm also suffering from the battery drain issue in #1446 probably because I use Android Auto almost every day.
