Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

When the user in the web application selects the "Use chapter track" feature while listening to an .m4b file with chapter markers, the UI shows the listening progress in the context of the current chapter and not the entire audio file.

Image

However, in the lock screen the UI still shows the listening progress + tracker in the context of the entire audio file.

Image

Why would this be helpful?

It brings consistency to the UX. Furthermore, it is too easy to accidentally scrub the listening position too far and totally lose your spot.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.32.1

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

(Correctly tracking the listening in the context of the single chapter, not the full audio file.)
