What happened?

Altering the playback speed changes the way the timestamps are displayed on the player. However the bookmarks show the standard rate timestamp position. This is confusing when using two different speeds on different devices and sync doesn't work properly.

What did you expect to happen?

The timestamps should update across the UI accordingly if this is how you want to alter timestamps.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Create a bookmark
  2. Change playback speed
  3. See different timestamps shown,

Audiobookshelf version

2.17.5

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Logs

No response

Additional Notes

I'd prefer not messing with the timestamp, or at least an option to disable the recalculation of timestamps based on speed. Quite often I'll mentally remember I'm at 3:17:00 on my phone and then later that day i'm at my desk and it'll show 2:37:00, forgetting that playback speed alters the view I'll go and manually set it to 3:17 and not have any clue as to what they're talking about because its so far off of where it should be.
