[Bug]: Web sessions dont show sync to mobile app
What happened?
When I listen to a book I have already started on my mobile device and switch to web, the book picks up at the correct place. When I switch back to my mobile it doesnt pick up the new place in my book.
I have tried completely closing out of the book and closing out of the app to try to get it to sync.
When checking the backend listening sessions, I do see both the web sessions and the mobile but the mobile app still will only see its sessions.

The mobile app should at least show the web sessions.

Additional Notes
No response
The listening sessions you see on Android are device specific and do not sync with the server. The server listening sessions are only "total time listened during the session."
Listening sessions are planned to be reworked to allow for better syncing and viewing, but this hasn't happened yet.

The play/pause history page is local only but the green cloud checkmark shows that it has been synced with the server.
Is the book downloaded? Have you tried this with other books?
This book is downloaded in the android app. I have tried this with others ~~(including one that isnt downloaded)~~ and I still cant get web progress to sync.
Ok, it doesnt seem to be happening with streamed books, just with downloaded books. Although I am not seeing the "sync" entry under history.
With even more testing, it seems to be only happening with this one book. I will try to narrow the issue down some more but this isnt the only book I have had this issue with.
M4B but now im not seeing the issue at all. I have no idea what has changed.
@advplyr this is happening for me. if I completely restart the android app, it will sync to the appropriate place. Maybe it would be useful to do a force sync on the app?
Steps to repro:
- play book on computer
- play book on phone (phone will not sync unless app is restarted)
context: for me, this was a book I had downloaded on the phone, i.e. it was not streaming.
