When attempting to play a book that has been downloaded locally, the display blanks on and off showing only the background or a dark screen. The only way to break the loop is with a restart. Occurs whether or not connected to same network as server.

Phone is a OnePlus Nord10 5G

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Android App, Ensure you have storage permissions and a download folder setup. Find an audiobook you want to download. Ensure, in the file list, that it is m4b.
2. Click the "download" icon in the app, wait for it to reach 100%
3. On 100% it shows an Error instead. "Item download complete but failed to create library item"

Expected behaviour

I would expect the file to show up in the local folder storage and the app able to play from that local storage.

Actual behaviour

The Error is issued, in red, at the bottom of the screen. One can check the app's scan of the folder, it does not show up. It is, however, able to be seen inside the folder with various folder applications.

So i'm still having problems with Android Auto resuming playback at the point i left it at.

It seems regardless of what client i was using prior to using android auto, it reverts to some time stamp quite a way back..

i havn't yet managed to track down when that timestamp was saved.. but what i don't understand is if i get out of the car, then go look at the web gui.. the time stamp is right.. so why would AA then start from a different point?

I can't select a folder to download. I always get the message access denied. The system asks whether the access should be allowed and even a manual assignment of rights in the app settings do not help.

System: Xiaomi 9 lite Android 10 MIUI 12.0.10

Good work from server and app keep it up !

Edit: I can only select the "Download" system folder. But then the app hangs when trying to download. Good work from server and app keep it up !

This PR refactors the iOS player sync hooks to rely on the native instead AVPlayer time observation hooks instead of using timers.

The theory is in low memory situations, iOS is stopping the current tick timer in the background, leading to issues where the player does not have the most accurate currentTime.

Changes

• Persisting a syncing sessions are now done via addPeriodicTimeObserver() firing every 0.5 wall-clock seconds
  • The database currentTime is updated on every invocation
  • The server receives the latest session and media progress every 10 wall-clock seconds and when the player is paused or stopped
• timeListening is now calculated based on updateAt times between sync vs. running an incremental counter each second
  • This ensures it's reliable regardless of the interval the value is updated
• Sleep timers are now done via addBoundaryTimeObserver scheduled for the time to stop sleep
  • This refactor takes into account playbackSpeed, changes in playbackSpeed, seeks, and locks on a specific chapter time when required, to ensure the scheduled sleep time is always accurate
• Syncing the current progress from the server is still done via a timer, but has been refactored into the Audio Player, and is now aware of pauses using the Now Playing widget or a remote
• When resuming audio with allowed seek back, the last played time is based off the database session, allowing persistence across app restarts
• Fixes an existing Realm memory leak that was made worse by this change
  • Adds lots of error handling logic as part of tracking down this memory leak

Steps to reproduce

1. open listen book
2. play book
3. try stop button after few seconds of listening on notification player

Expected behaviour

• stop book and save current listen time

Actual behaviour

• marked book as finished

Android Issue

Android version: 9

Device model: Huawei P10 (an my tablet SM-T725 there is no stop button on the notification player)

Stock or customized system: Stock

tested with server version: 2.0.22 / 23

Steps to reproduce

Settings, Local media manegement, crashes to desktop (CTD)

1. Settings - Local Media
2. New Folder -> media type: books
3. added a new folder, selected an existing one with lots of audiobooks, also used by the previous app version.
4. Allow access to the folder? ->Yes
5. I see a green messagebox at the bottom.. for less than a second--because the app crashes back to the desktop
6. Next start of the application -> folder assignment is present, but if I scan it, it crashes again.

7. If I select another folder NOT containing audiobooks (empty folder) it works fine.
8. if I then select an audiobook to download to that new folder, it crashes to desktop.

Expected behaviour

I presume it should go back to the local media menu? And also be able to download an audiobook and not crash to desktop :)

Actual behaviour

Instant crash to desktop. Perhaps a OnePlusNord thing again? I'm guessing there's a rewrite to the code for managing downloads that somehow conflicts with OnePlus again :) --1. Tried this on my old Samsung S8+ (android v9) here I do not have the same issue, it works fine creating a folder (empty) --2. There'es another bug with Samsung S8+; I could download the file but the app crashed to desktop but there's still an indication that the file is being downloaded in my phone notification area. But when I relaunch the application the file isn't indicated as downloaded. I tried again, same crash.

Describe the issue

I cannot download books in the Android app. Using the browser the downloads work just fine. In the Android app I click on the download button and it does nothing. The progress just stays at 0%. This could certainly be something I did with the config but i don't see it.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Try to download a book

Audiobookshelf version

2.2.5

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Debian/PPA

Describe the issue

When My S22 Ultra launches android Auto in my vehicle, If the audiobookshelf app was not previously launched, it will open to "downloads" page in audiobookshelf with no way to navigate back out to view my library or start a stream.

If I launch the app before connecting to android auto, I still can't navigate to other menus, but it does show my current book..

Can this be fixed so that if app was not launched when connecting to android auto and have ability to navigate back to my library

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Audiobookshelf andriod app asleep or has not been launched since last reboot.
2. Connect phone to vehicle and when android auto launches, open audiobookshelf in android auto (not on phone)
3. When app opens in android auto, the top menu displays "downloads" with no items listed in main body of screen. There is also no back button or way to navigate to library to start a stream.

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

Audiobookshelf have been released to the Umbrel App Store recently 🎉

By default, Umbrel apps are protected with a proxy that request the Umbrel authentication password before accessing the app:

Screenshot showing Umbrel proxy screen

When I installed the mobile app, I couldn’t get the connection to Umbrel server because of the proxy:

Screenshot showing authentication issues

I still could solve this issue by manually disabling the proxy for this app but maybe you have an API used that could be whitelist by Umbrel directly ? (for reference, see https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-apps/pull/302#issuecomment-1366637166)

Another remark is that Umbrel exposed apps outside of the local network using Tor domains. Do you have any plan to accept onion URLs to connect to the self hosted app from the mobile app on an external network ?

Thank you very much for your replies and thanks for building this great app ! 🚀

Steps to reproduce

1. have an audiobook with multiple CD folders (CD1, CD2, etc)
2. try to play it through the iOS App.

Expected behaviour

• audiobooks should play like normal

Actual behaviour

• It will play fine through the web app, but not through the iOS app.

The Audiobookshelf docker will put out a log file that it can not find the mp3 files of the audiobook. But it looks for them in the root of each audiobook, not in the CD folders.

when the app is not connected to the server and you have downloaded books, it shows a single horizontal scrallable row of the downloaded books. I think this is uncomfortable and waste a lot of space, so it would be nice to change the layout to the default library layout when the app detects that there is no server connected.
