[Bug]: Audiobook & Podcast Position Not Syncing/Saving

[feerlessleadr]

What was the Problem?

I can't quite pinpoint why, but over the last several months my Android app will randomly get a red exclamation point on the cover of the book or podcast that I'm listening to (while I'm in the middle of listening), and the progress will no longer sync to the server.

Once I realize, I sometimes have listening to 30 minutes or more, and I need to manually go back and find the point of the book that I stopped at on the next listening session.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

I wish I could tell you what I do to cause this, but it seemingly happens at random. I believe it has something to do with the ABS app temporarily losing connection to my server (it will often happen when I'm listening to a book in my car pulling out of my driveway, and although the book doesn't stop, probably 25% of the time, I will get the red exclamation point).

It also happens however when I'm just sitting in my house on wifi. Perhaps it could be related to when I'm walking around my house and hopping from AP to AP.

The stream doesn't stop or otherwise indicate any issue, but the red exclamation point will show up.

What was Expected?

Not to overwite the local position on the app in favor of the position saved on the server that is usually at least minutes (and sometimes over an hour) behind the position on my phone.

Additional Notes

I have tried to capture in a log, but since I can't figure out exactly what is causing the issue, I'm not able to debug without running the debug log 24/7.
