Describe the issue

The issue I have on the Android version of the app is that the podcast section on the server on an episode shows (incorrectly) that an episode is played - for example - 13%, while the bottom player shows that I finished (100%) the episode already. Shouldn't these be synced somehow?

Steps to reproduce the issue

just play any podcast to the end and observe

Audiobookshelf version

2.3.3

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

Is this with streamed or local files?

If local, is the file still linked to the server?

Finally I was able to create a screenshot:

You can see that for ~20 seconds the progress bars are not synced. It is not due to the slowness of the server or bad connection, as I am on a gigabit line and there is no stuttering/caching. Also, not very clear why these progress indicators are not synced at all times....

Progress is synced to the server every 15s or 60s depending on the network connection, this is when timestamps are updated on the page.
