Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Related to #489 and #1673
Display the seek bar using Chapters instead of Audio Track.

Why would this be helpful?

I believe this should be the expected behavior. In the base Android app, if chapters exist, they are used for the seek bar during playback. If there are no chapters, the app player won't even use the Tracks as splits, it just gives you the entire book length.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Similar to the base app, which has options for total length or single chapter bars.

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.11.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

Android Auto displaying the Audio Track seek bar.



The first Audio Track is 39:44 long, Image

but that Track should be split into four chapters. Image

For .m4b files, it just displays the total length.

Duplicate/related to https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/issues/239

The issue is that the built in progress bar uses the length of the file, not custom start/stop times within a file.
