Steps to reproduce

1.listen to an audiobook for a while
2. Add a bookmark
3. Note that the bookmark timestamp differs from the current time

Expected behaviour

  • Tell us what should happen

Timestamp of the bookmark should match current time position in the book

Actual behaviour

  • Tell us what happens

They are not the same

See screenshot

This is because you have the playback speed set to 1.1x. It is showing the current time if playback speed was 1. I think it makes the most sense to do it that way since we aren't bookmarking your playback speed, we are just bookmarking the time in the audiobook.

Is this true for all books, or just this one? Is this a single mp3, m4b, or multiple mp3 files?

Are the file(s) variable bitrate?

Edit: I wrote my response at the same time as advplyr, I didn't notice the 1.1x speed.

Thank you for that explanation, and taking the time to respond.

I understand what you mean about showing the time based on the playback speed. so perhaps bookmarks should also be show in the same adjusted format based on current playback rate?

having said that I can live with it as is now that i know.

thank you for the awesome app.
