Hello,  
I have a plex Server installed locally on Ubuntu and have a few audiobooks among other things on it. The problem I have is that when I stream them to my phone it always keeps the position i stopped playing from last time while it does not do that at all for downloads. This is an issue because the audiobooks can be over 20 hours long in a single file and it is really annoying to try to get the position i stopped at. Is there a setting I am missing or is that just not implemented as a feature?

This is a known bug. Downloads is not tracking music libraries.
