The android app works pretty well on Android auto, but skip 10s ahead and chapter control are disabled in the interface. It's actually pretty annoying if I read the hardcopy and need to skip ahead a couple chapters. Can those controls be made active?
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jan 7, 2022):
I couldn't find any documentation to implement this.
Overall the Android Auto developer experience has been poor. If you or anyone finds any info on how to do this it would be appreciated, I also use this feature a lot.

Before I made the comment in discord I tried looking for documentation of implementation, but was disappointed with what little I could find

Added another request for control options https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/issues/333
Also since it was discussed in the pr I think the order of the custom android auto playback options is dependent on the order they're added in code. I can't find any docs to support this but 🤷

Jump forward/backward buttons are added. Chapter control should be working for audiobooks with multiple mp3s but not yet working for single file m4b.
v0.9.57-beta

Bumping this up. I just converted my Audible library to m4b so I can listen through Audiobookshelf in my car using Android Auto. It's a slight step down from what my experience with Audible was. (No cover art, no chapters). Also, the audio pauses for other notifications but doesn't do a quick-rewind. So I sometimes end up manually rewinding so I can catch what was said.

Good to know. Yes, I'm using almost entirely single file M4Bs with chapters. You might take a look at https://github.com/mattttvaughn/chronicle. The project has been without development for a couple of years, but it works pretty well for detecting/using chapters in M4Bs.
