📄 Description

Brief summary

This PR tries to fix the issue which users were seeing when playing an audiobook on the web and continuing on the app. The server progress would not be visible in the app and it would use the local progress, overwriting any server progress.

Which issue is fixed?

https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/issues/1161

Pull Request Type

Android + iOS, the backend

In-depth Description

Whenever the websocket is disconnected, or the app has not been visible for 30 seconds, it syncs the local progress to the server and vice versa.

How have you tested this?

Played an audiobook on the server/web with app opened on my Android Phone
Scrolled through the audiobook in web, app progress was synced
Closed app for > 30 seconds
Saw a websocket disconnect in the logs
Opened app again, progress was synced -> This is not the case without this PR.
