None

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

When sharing an audiobook, it would be helpful if you could track the audio feed across devices by the user who opened the feed.

Why would this be helpful?

I use Teddycloud where you can bind in a feed. So when I get home, I can easily cloud to continue listening to my audio book.

Shares are specifically for sharing media without requiring a login. To track progress across different devices, you would want to create a user for whoever is consuming the media.

Is it possible to open a stream via URL where I can directly continue the autobook?

That's not possible. Are you using the share feature currently?

No, I'm not. I just wanted to implement this in my Teddycloud to continue listening to it at home.
Instead of Radio 1Live I would like to use a local URL to continue.
