Originally created by @danmed on GitHub (Jan 27, 2022).
So i'm still having problems with Android Auto resuming playback at the point i left it at.
It seems regardless of what client i was using prior to using android auto, it reverts to some time stamp quite a way back..
i havn't yet managed to track down when that timestamp was saved.. but what i don't understand is if i get out of the car, then go look at the web gui.. the time stamp is right.. so why would AA then start from a different point?
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jan 27, 2022):
There are 2 main factors that impact progress sync.
Are you listening to downloaded audiobooks?
@danmed commented on GitHub (Jan 27, 2022):
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jan 27, 2022):
Streaming is more developed right now so you should continue streaming then. This should be working from how you described because the start time is coming from the server, and you are saying the server is showing the right timestamp when you check the web gui.
Can you give me a step by step on how to reproduce this? If you can't reproduce it on demand then just your best estimation.
@danmed commented on GitHub (Jan 28, 2022):
So i very rarely do anything but listen in the car.. so my usual process is..
Plug the phone in and open the app on in car screen, and hit play..
When i get where i'm going i unplug the phone..
When i get back in , i plug it back in and hit play and it's gone back to where it was at the start of the first trip.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jan 28, 2022):
In between those plays are you using the web gui at all to listen to other audiobooks?
I can't think of any reason why this would happen since you are saying when you open the web gui the progress is correct for that audiobook.
@danmed commented on GitHub (Jan 28, 2022):
i dont use the web gui.. i've only looked at it recently to see if the
resume time is actually correct or not.. it's honestly gotten to the point
where i sit on my drive and have to 15 second skip to make sure i'm at
roughly the right point before i leave.

What do you mean sit on your drive?
I'll see if I can replicate this issue
@danmed commented on GitHub (Jan 28, 2022):
Sorry, UK speak :)
I mean i sit in the car on my driveway and make sure playback is at the
right point before i drive off :)

In all honesty i'm now having a hard time replicating it (it's late and i can't go to the car).. but i've opened AA in "driving mode" and i can't replicate the problem..
I've now closed ABS and AA and i know the time stamp.. so i will test it on the school run tomorrow and come back to you!
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jan 28, 2022):
Got it. I will try to replicate it, but in the meantime if you could try opening up the mobile app on your device at the end of your trip while it is playing in AA.
Let it play for 5 seconds with the mobile app open in your car then close it down. When you next get in your car I am curious if AA will start back up on the right time.
@danmed commented on GitHub (Jan 28, 2022):
OK will do.. i'll try that in the morning!

@danmed commented on GitHub (Jan 28, 2022):
so now ive got no clue whats going on..
i got in the car with everything closed, tried to open ABS in the car and it jsut kept loading..
Had to open the app on my phone before it would load in the car.. then an app update came through so i did that.. The book played from the right place.
Got out at my daughters school... app was still open on my phone.. got back in starting playing and it went back to where it was when i first got in the car :(
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2022):
When you get back in your car if you can open the app up first and check to see if the progress is correct for your audiobook before launching android auto.
Is the mobile app showing the correct progress then android auto not playing at the right position?
Another helpful test would be to fully close out of the application before connecting to android auto, this would clear out any initial start position stored in memory.
@danmed commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2022):
So this morning i got in the car with the app not open on my phone, opened
it in AA and it started the book from scratch..
I then opened the app on my phone and it stopped playing and jumped forward
to almost where i left it....
I'm so confused by all of this lol

Some screenshots for you..
Web Interface time stamp :
Android App time stamp :
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2022):
You and me both!
I'm curious about those 2 tests I mentioned above still. If closing out of the app completely and re-opening it before launching AA solves the problem, then that will give me something to go off of.
@danmed commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2022):
I've set the app to be at the correct time, and closed it.. When i get in the car later i will open the app before connecting to the car to see what happens
@danmed commented on GitHub (Feb 4, 2022):
Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you.. So this is almost certainly
something happening when AA is involved..
I went for a long walk the other day and listened.. When i got in the car
it resumed at the right place! Fantastic! (starting it on my phone whilst
plugged in to the car).. When i got out, i hit pause on the car screen..
Now when i go back to it on my phone, it's rolled back 15 minutes or so..
So it seems to me like this is happening when i get out of the car rather
than getting in.. if that helps at all?

I can only think that you are using the version before I added progress sync to android auto. Can you check what version you are currently on by going to the account page?
Also the version of the server, because some of that depended on a server update.
@danmed commented on GitHub (Feb 4, 2022):
Android : 0.9.39-beta
Server : 1.6.44
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Feb 4, 2022):
The code to allow syncing streams from android auto required a server update to 1.6.45, so that is the problem.
The latest server version is 1.6.64
@danmed commented on GitHub (Feb 4, 2022):
Hmm my bad, i thought i'd added your repo to my docker notify list.. but obviously not..
Apologies! I've just updated it and i'm going to add you to the notify list now!
I'll update in a few days!
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Apr 24, 2022):
The newest app releases 0.9.41-beta and server v2 and up handle syncing differently.
Let me know if this still persists.
