Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In the past days I accidentally touched the progress bar on the 'Now Playing' widget in numerous situations on iOS (this is not a ABS issue, I have this with a lot of apps, I do not like that touching on the progress bar is sensitive.). I had to find the position in the audiobook where I left off, which is not a great listening experience.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option to settings to disable commandCenter.changePlaybackPositionCommand.isEnabled.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Just disable the commandCenter.changePlaybackPositionCommand.isEnabled.

Additional context

I thought about why I would like this to be enabled at all. I was not able to find one.

  • It is not possible to navigate through a multi hour audiobook precisely. If I do want to find a chapter, I use the app and not the widget. It is not possible to find the exact position.
  • If I want to go back 30s, I would use the 10s back button multiple times, because it is way more precise.
  • I can change it to the chapter view, so that not the full audiobook is displayed, only the current chapter. Same reason. I would use the go back button or the app to find the chapter.

Therefor, I do not see any reason why allowing scrubbing through the audiobook on the widget.

Oh, thank you, did not find it because of different wordings.

It is a question of wished behavior, philosophy of usage. The fix seems trivial.
Should I close it and add it to the other issue?

It just hasn't been done yet. If you can make and test the change, that would be great.

I created and tested a pr. So now we can discuss ;)
