Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a sleep mask I used with bluetooth headphones built into it. Since I wake up often in the middle of the night, I have to restart my playback to fall back asleep with. This involves me:
Describe the solution you'd like
Ive raised this issue before with #311, but I think the new auto-sleep settings give the perfect opportunity to add a new setting to 'auto rewind' for the user when the auto sleep is triggered. It could be as simple as a toggle to enable 'auto rewind', and a numerical input for the amount of time to rewind.
This would cut out all the steps of taking off the mask as the user could just:
The only problem I could see coming up is how it may handle books that finish in the last 'period' of sleep. If my auto timer runs for 20 minutes when it starts, and my book only has 17 minutes left, will ABS be able to handle resuming playback in a book that is completed?
@YodaDaCoda commented on GitHub (Mar 10, 2023):
Not sure how long the auto-rewind duration is right now, but IMO the auto-rewind duration being equal to the sleep timer is a perfect default👌.
Having the auto-rewind duration user-customisable would be ideal, and would bring some certainty to the process where currently I am uncertain how far it's going to auto-rewind.
@Dr-Blank commented on GitHub (Mar 17, 2023):
Just some thoughts.
Auto rewind could also depend on the time since the last playback.
This is not just for auto sleep, but in general and could be a separate feature.
How it would work:
if the playback for a book has been paused for 1 min: rewind 15 seconds
⏸ 5 mins => ⏪ 30 seconds
⏸ 30 mins => ⏪ 1 min 30 seconds
⏸ > 2 hours => ⏪ 2 min
of course all these settings could be customized. (and all the values are already available since the history is stored for every book)
attached a Screenshot from mAbook app.
this is the view under Settings > Rewind

I support this, I'm finding myself rewinding considerably after more than a couple hours.
@HStep20 commented on GitHub (Mar 17, 2023):
For clarification, this request is not an addition or change to the current 'auto rewind' system. Im suggesting an Auto-Rewind system for the Auto Sleep timer.
You go to bed, and put on an audiobook -> you fall asleep while the sleep timer finishes
I want to streamline the experience of finding where I approximately was when I fell asleep. Since Im constantly waking up throughout the night, its a pain to open my phone, adjust my eyes, scrobble around, and set a new sleep timer. Id love for it to 'auto rewind "halfway"' when the Auto Sleep Timer triggers so that I can just hit play and let it go.
No scrobbling or trying to find where I was because the app would approximate where I fell asleep by auto rewinding
@Dr-Blank commented on GitHub (Mar 26, 2023):
Your feature could be included in the comment I made by putting a logic on how the book was paused.
If ⏸️ by auto sleep timer => ⏪ 50% of current auto timer setting
so if auto sleep is set to 10 min, rewind 5 min on next play.
