Describe the Feature/Enhancement

When reconnecting via bluetooth or aux, resume audio playback

Why would this be helpful?

The app correctly pauses playback when the primary audio output is changed. This is nice for things like when you get out of a car.
Allowing the option for restarting playback when reconnecting would make it so you don't need to pull out your phone.
At work, I use wired earbuds, and unplugging the aux cable is a way to pause without looking. Plugging them back in to automatically restart playback would be another nice-to-have.
Many other dedicated music/audio playback apps have this functionality, and it would be nice to see it here too.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Putting it in the player settings, the same location as skip forward/back would be ideal.

Audiobookshelf App Version
