I'm not sure whether this is a bug, or just not implemented yet. When I use the forward/backward functionality on my BT headphones, the playback does not skip forwards/backards. If I use the buttons on my Apple Watch it works fine.

It might be an issue specific to the Sony WH-1000X M3 but I doubt that, since the backward/forward functionality via the BT headphones works fine in all other apps.

Thanks for the amazing work!

Steps to reproduce

Connect BT headphones
Start listening to an Audiobook
Use backward/forward controls

Expected behaviour

The playback skips forward or backwards

Actual behaviour

Nothing happens

Environment data

Audiobookshelf Version: Server: 2.2.8, iOS App: 0.9.60-beta

Android App?
[ x ] iOS App?

iOS Issue

iOS Version: 16.2

iPhone model: 12 Pro

@gilgwath when you use these controls in the Music app do they skip to the next track? We might have the same issue, and I've suggested a fix here https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/pull/528

This may have been fixed in version 0.9.61

I was experiencing the same issue with version 0.9.60 on iOS using AirPod Pros, but it is working correctly for me now in version 0.9.61
