Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

the ability able to jump back to the position when I last pressed play

Why would this be helpful?

I primarily listen to audiobooks when I go to sleep, sometime my headset will die whist I'm asleep or I'll forget to set the sleep timer and I'll have no idea where I was in the book. An option to jump back to the last time I pressed play would be great to allow me to find roughly where I was the night before.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Maybe this could be an automatically created bookmark?

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.11.0 debian

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

It would probably be best added as an automatic bookmark of "Last Played Position"

I noticed that it is already recorded in user stats in the web interface, could this be used to populate an automatic bookmark?

Are you using the mobile app or web client to listen? The client manages playing/pausing/seeking and doesn't send a request to the server every time this happens necessarily. It will send sync requests in some instances but the server doesn't store the action that took place.

Hi, thank you for replying, I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. I am using the Android version of the app. The feature I am asking for is a way to automatically add a bookmark when I press play, I noticed that the sessions get recorded on the server which show the start and end time of each session so suggested that as a way to populate the bookmark. I would like a feature to allow me to jump back to the start of the last session. So if my headphones die in the middle of a session whilst I am asleep or I forget to set the sleep timer I have an easy way to jump back to the begining of the session so I dont have to skip through manually to try and find a spot that I remember hearing

You can view the "Play History" in the app, and tap on timestamps on the right of the screen to jump to that specific time.

This isn't going to be supported on the server at this time. That level of detail should be left up to the individual clients
