Steps to reproduce

  1. Use an Android 13 Phone
  2. Play a podcast in app.
  3. Swipe down to show widgets and the playback time wont be showing

Actual behaviour

Expected behaviour

In the image above next to the playback timeline there should hopefully be the playback time or at least the option to enable that functionality.

So it's my understanding that in Android 13 they hide time info by default. You can expose that info but it has to be done by the app.

Environment data

Audiobookshelf Version: v2.2.2

  • [ X] Android App?

Android Issue

Android version: 13

I've been looking around the Android docs and can't find info on this. Some screenshots I'm seeing show the time and others don't.
There is this: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/media-controls#mediasession_implementation

This should already be implemented and automatically controlled by exoplayer.
I'll keep looking but if anyone has more info on this let me know!
