Describe the feature/enhancement
Long time user of AntennaPod on android and running a gPodder server can be used to setup sync (for playback positions, but also subscriptions and audiobooks).
AntennaPod supports gPodder API or Nextcloud sync right now, but I also wonder if audiobookshelf could have an API that can emulate gPodder API so that sync could be setup.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jan 17, 2023):
I'm not familiar with any of it, do you have some more links you can share to help me get caught up? Maybe some docs
@test-in-prod commented on GitHub (Jan 17, 2023):
Here are the docs for gPodder API: https://gpoddernet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/index.html
@alexanderadam commented on GitHub (Apr 2, 2023):
Other applications like the Podcast app for Garmin watches or the gPodder desktop application are also using gPodder sync.
So I guess it would add support to various existing clients, making audiobookshelf attractive for these users.
EDIT: PodFetch already supports the gPodder API apart from other cool features. I think that it's feature-wise pretty similar to AudioBookshelf.

Adding play-state syncronization to Audiobookshelf would be amazing. I love Antennapod but I'm currently considering ditching a podcast app altogether and playing podcasts via Audiobookshelf on the web (thus play state is on the server, so it's "synced" no matter where I listen from). Problems I have with this solution are not being able to listen when I don't have connectivity (e.g., driving where there's no cell signal, on planes) and bandwidth (why use cell bandwidth to stream an episode that I already downloaded on my server?).
Anyway, I just encountered Audiobookshelf and it looks and acts fantastic - gorgeous and intuitive. Thank you!

@mcmikemn You can download podcast episodes on your device and your progress will be synced with the server when you have connection to the server.
@mcmikemn commented on GitHub (Apr 9, 2023):
@advplyr, are you referring to the web interface or the Audiobookshelf app?
I'm using GrapheneOS but the Audiobookshelf app uses Google Play services and thus wouldn't work on my phone.
Edit: Oh - you're the developer! Sorry I didn't notice!. :)

The mobile app, an APK is included with every release so you don't have to install from the play store. https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/releases

Wow. Fantastic!

Before implementing support for the gPodder.net API, I would strongly recommend having a look at www.openpodcastapi.org. It's a community initiative to bring a better, open & platform-neutral podcast synchronisation API spec. Everyone is invited to join the efforts :-)
