Steps to reproduce

  1. Open audiobookshelf app
  2. Play a book
  3. Cast book
  4. Try changing the volume on your phone. This part doesn't seem to work for me (Android 12, OnePlus 7) casting to Google Nest Display.

Expected behaviour

  • when casting, your phone essentially becomes a 'remote control', so I would expect to be able to change the volume. I'm not sure if this is a bug or feature request but I'm assuming a big, since it works with every other app.

Actual behaviour

  • The volume does not change.

Environment data

  • Local server install (not docker) V2.2.15

Audiobookshelf Version:

  • [0.9.61 beta ] Android App?
  • iOS App?

Android Issue

Android version: 12

Device model: OnePlus 7

Stock or customized system: stock

iOS Issue

Another vote for this feature. When casting, volume buttons on phone should change volume on casting device and not on phone. This works correctly in Spotify for example.

I have Google Nest Mini devices and only way to change volume is by touch controls on the device or with Home application on Android that shows the speaker playing ABS and offers volume controls for it.
