Steps to reproduce

  1. Play streaming content on iPad.
  2. Pause on iPad and note the time
  3. Try to resume on iPhone

Expected behaviour

  • iPhone continues where iPad left off

Actual behaviour

  • iPhone continues from last position it knew about.

Environment data

Audiobookshelf Version: 0.9.63

  • Android App?
  • iOS App?

Notes

I found that it does work the other way round. If I play something on my phone, the ipad will pick up where the phone left off.

Maybe also the same as this #578

This is also happening on 0.9.65-beta. Seems like the player needs to sync progress when it starts to read or opens an item?

I think this has been fixed on 0.9.66 and server v2.5.0 but let me know if not.

Confirmed it is syncing for me now.

If I have the player open while doing the test the position doesn’t update, but that seems reasonable to me.

If I play on one device, pause. Then switch to the other and open the file (in other words something else was playing first) it goes to the correct position 😀
