Steps to reproduce

  1. Download a book
  2. Progress never changes from 0%

Expected behaviour

  • Progress should smoothly update as the download progresses.

Actual behaviour

  • Progress stays at 0% the entire time.

Environment data

Audiobookshelf Version:

  • Android App?
  • iOS App? 0.9.70

Server is 2.6.0 and is hosted in Docker behind a local reverse proxy and Cloudflare cache. If this is a "me" thing then maybe it's a problem with my setup. Reverse proxy, etc. Any idea what I may need to open?

iOS Issue

iOS Version:
17.2
iPhone model:
15 Pro Max

My Audiobooks consist of a single file.

Can you test this without your reverse proxy? That could eliminate that possibility.

You can also check the server logs that should show a request has been made to download a file.

Apologies for the late reply.
I remembered this bug today and had some time to figure it out, which I did, so I'm leaving this here in case others run into this.
I'm using Traefik as a reverse proxy for the Docker container and it was the gzip middleware that was causing the issue. Turning off gzip fixed it for me.
I don't know why that would only break the download percentage counter, but it did.
