First, thank you so much for the work you do on this app. I love it! I have had this issue for months across several versions of audiobookshelf and the audiobookshelf ios app. After some time of inactivity, I lose the ability to select/create chapters. See video:

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start Audiobookshelf, functions normally.
  2. Do a few other things on your phone
  3. Return to Audiobookshelf a few hours later and the bookmarks icon disappears.
  4. I can get the icon back by playing another book briefly and returning to the first book and voila the bookmarksicon is back

Expected behavior

  • chapter icon should persist

Actual behavior

  • see above

Not sure if this could be related or not. If I have a book downloaded, I don't have access to bookmarks...is that normal?

Bookmarks are not yet supported when offline. However, when you are connected to your server you should see the bookmark icon on downloaded books.

I tried to reproduce your issue but was not able to

Please reopen this bug for fix. As you can see, I am connected to the server.

I can confirm what the OP mentioned - start another book and return and the bookmark icon appears.

Can you reproduce it or was that a one-off?

It's happened quite a few times. Until I read the OP's post, I thought it was a font-icon rendering problem. But after reading it, I reproduced it as shown in the images above.

To be honest, I don't know how much inactivity or different activity needs to be done before the icon disappears. Will try it out over the weekend and report if I get an answer to that question.
