[PlaybackSessionManager] Closing stale session "A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor" (6abe7db9-1ed1-4bd6-ad16-fd4e97faa575) last updated at Fri Feb 21 2025 14:05:23 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)

Additional Notes

When I complete an audiobook, it is getting stuck in the "Continue Listening" section, despite showing as played/completed. I have tried the following fixes:

  • Clicking "Remove from Continue Listening" results in book disappearing from this section until the next reload of the Home page
  • Marking a book as "Not Finished" (remains in Continue Listening) and then marking as "Finished" again, but still remains
  • Deleting all listening sessions for the book, then trying the above steps, with the same results

The only way I can get this to work successfully is to delete the book from my library, re-add it and then mark it as finished.

Running Docker on Synology. Perhaps worth noting that I also do playback on iOS through Plappa and use both Chrome browser and Plappa for playback for listening. This issue persists even after making sure it is force-closed, and after I have begun listening to another book.

I've included the only log from the UI that shows up for the book title that this is currently affecting.

I did not know about the media progress section, but have since checked and see duplicates, with both at 0%. I did not do any attempts to fix this (deleting playback sessions, marking as unfinished/finished, or removing from continue listening) so this is the result immediately following completion of a book.

This has happened with my last 5-6 books going back to the last 3 previous versions. It is a relatively recent bug (within the lost month or so)

Do you see any progress syncs of 100% for the same boon anywhere in the list of progress? If not it looks like Plappa is then reporting the book as 0% completion when it is marked as finished, or something in the API is incorrect. There have been a few issues like this specifically when using Plappa reported on GH and on Discord, so it seems to be an issue with Plappa.

No, I don’t have any at 100%, but had used Plappa since the first post and second, and it’s now showing up in Continue Listening at 0%.

Yeah, it sounds like Plappa is reporting the progress as 0% again. There could be a race condition in the API as mentioned in the other issue, but it sounds like Plappa is reporting progress incorrectly after finishing a book.

Can you check you "time remaining" for the library settings? It defaults to 10 seconds, but I increased mine to 60 seconds.

I looked back in my logs, from memory this issue started appearing when I updated to v2.19.0

Mine was set to 10, I have increased it now. I also have tried "relistening" to the end of books and making sure to go all the way until they end on their own, without any success.

I went into Plappa and marked is as played, and now get this in the user media progress log

Edited to add that it's back to showing 100% listened to and still in Continue Listening.

The still showing in continue listening is due to the book having progress which is not at 100% (because there are two entries in that table). This still seems to be the same as https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/3845 after the additional information.
