Originally created by @jt196 on GitHub (Jun 8, 2022).

Steps to reproduce

Play something on Android app
Receive notification

Expected behaviour

I'd prefer the app to pause on notification sound, then resume when the sound is finished. Currently, a one off sound is ok, but if I get a few in short period of time, the skipping back is really annoying.

Actual behaviour

Audio skips back ~5 seconds on receipt of a notification.

Environment data

Audiobookshelf Version:

Android App - most recent as of June 08 2022.

Android Issue

Android version: 12

Device model: Pixel 3

Stock or customized system: CalyxOS

Perhaps the auto-rewind function could be adjusted to have a minimum time before rewinding, maybe 3 seconds?

Any control would be useful! Unless I'm missing something, the app doesn't really have settings to control local stuff. Guess that's a Vue/Android thing.

Ah yeah I just mentioned this in #244
I was using android auto on a road trip and the auto-rewind was really irritating when also using navigation.
Adding user config to adjust this is something planned, but first we should define a good default.

My figure is the least intrusive would be the best. Either pause between start and end of notification, or no pause at all, probably the former.

@advplyr I think this is resolved on the most recent app release, right?

Correct this is resolved. Auto-rewind only happens now after a 10s pause and can also be disabled entirely in settings.

Here is the breakdown

    if (time < 10000) seekback = 0 // 10s or less = no seekback
    else if (time < 60000) seekback = 3000 // 10s to 1m = jump back 3s
    else if (time < 300000) seekback = 10000 // 1m to 5m = jump back 10s
    else if (time < 1800000) seekback = 20000 // 5m to 30m = jump back 20s
    else seekback = 29500 // 30m and up = jump back 30s
