Plex Doesn't Frequently Save Progress In Audio Track

Server Version#: TrueNAS 1.26.1.5762
Player Version#: Plexamp (Android) 4.2.2; Plex (Android) 9.3.0.32977

I’ve been attempting to use Plex to listen to audiobooks recently and have encountered a few hiccups.

When using Plexamp I will listen to my book for a session then find that my progress was not saved the next time I open the app. In addition, Plexamp doesn’t have great controls for Fast Forward 30 sec/Rewind 10 sec, which makes the user experience lag behind the main Plex app.

When using Plex for Android, I’m seeing a similar issue, except the entire progress restarts from the beginning when I hit play (before hitting play, the progress bar looks to be accurate to the last played position).

Note: I do have the “save progress” setting checked for the library containing these audiobooks.

In both cases, I am usually listening with bluetooth headphones, which may or may not contribute to the issue.

Would love to hear if others have observed similar behavior and to see this get addressed.

Thanks
