[Enhancement]: Continue Playing Audiobook When Casting

Open jrpetersjr opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I would like it that if I'm playing an audiobook and I decide to cast it to a remote device that it doesn't completely pause it and instead waits to connect and once it connects then it starts playing again immediately.

A good example is Youtube or Youtube music. If you are playing media and then cast that media then it starts it back up as soon as it connects to the device.

Why would this be helpful?

It's a better user experience and also has causes some issues before where I've forgotten that it doesn't work like Youtube and I've started it and then left my phone in another room and had to go back to start the audiobook. Like if you were getting in the shower and had to go back to start the book before getting in the shower.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

When playing an audiobook and connecting to a remote device it should continue playing once it connects.

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.9.74

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

It will pause once it connects to the device and you will have to start it again.
