[Enhancement]: Better control over what information is displayed on Bluetooth screen

Open ZLoth opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

For some vehicles such as a GM vehicle, when you have a Bluetooth device hooked up such as a smart phone, it can also send text information to the display as well as cover image and current progress. For Audiobookshelf, it's just two lines with just the book title and author:

ABS

Libby displays the current chapter name, author name, and the book title:

Libby

Audible displays the book title, current chapter, and apparently author (but the data is wrong in this screen shot):

Audible

It would be helpful if the order of information could be customized.

In addition, the player will show the progress of the current audiobook file that is being played. For some books, a chapter can be two or three files while other books consist of a single file. It would be nice if the current progress can be customized to either the ABS chapter or the entire book length.

Why would this be helpful?

It would better utilize the screen real estate in my vehicle.
