I've recently upgraded my Android phone to Android 16 (via Realme UI 7). Since then, the media controls buttons in the quick settings overlay don't work as expected.
The forward button increases the playback speed, and the rewind button fast-forwards. The play/pause button works fine.
This only happens in the small media controls. The bigger panel that appears when I press on the small one, and the lock-screen panel work OK. See attached image.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
Play a book
Navigate to the Android main screen
Bring up the quick settings overlay
Press the rewind or fast-forward button
What was Expected?
Rewind rewinds.
Fast-forward fast-forwards.
Phone Model
Realme GT 7 Pro
Phone OS
Android 16
Audiobookshelf App Version
Android App - 0.11.0
Installation Source
Google Play Store
Additional Notes
I'd be happy to help testing a fix.
