[Bug]: iOS: Frequently losing progress

[kylehendricks]

What was the Problem?

I've been using audiobookshelf for about 6 months quite heavily. I often move between airpods and my car while listening to an audiobook. Fairly often I will pause, switch to airpods/car, hit play and nothing will happen. When I open the app on the phone I see a red toast error at the bottom (I will update with a screenshot once I see it again) and all of my recent progress is lost. This has happened probably 30 times since I've started using the app.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Sorry, this is not consistently reproducible.

Just today I noticed something interesting. Here's how my day went:

1. Listen in car on drive to work, paused with car button.
2. Put in airpods, clicked the airpod button to continue playing while walking from car to office.
3. Paused by clicking the airpod button.
4. Worked 8 hours without any listening.
5. Started walk back to car, put in airpods, hit airpod button to "resume" as I did not listen to any other media that day, it started playing the audiobook.
6. Once I got to my car, I knew this bug often happens at this point so I decided to open the app while the audiobook was playing and the app did not have the player visible at the bottom of the screen and the book I was listening to had a big play button even though the audiobook was currently playing. The iOS "media notification" was visible and accurate, as far as I could tell.
7. Paused with airpod button.
8. Got into car, all progress from my walk from the office to the car was lost.

What was Expected?

My progress would be saved as I switched between airpods and car.

Additional Notes

This has happened on every iOS version I've been on for the last 6 months. (17 and 18?) It's also happened on every version of audiobookshelf since I've started using it.

This is also happening to me. Android 15.

Doesn't happen every time, but when I pause the app and the app is then closed, it doesn't always record the latest progress. So far if it does not save, it has reverted to the last save. Funny thing though, if I open the app, listen, pause, and then close the app, it will revert often. However, if I then reopen the app and try to reproduce the error right away, it seems to do the save correctly.
