I have stored track progress checked for my audiobook library, but the progress varies. Even pausing for a few seconds and resuming, the track could be a couple minutes earlier or later than where I left off. It seems that the longer the track, the more the resumed place could be off. Server Versio…

Try stopping instead of pausing. Long press Pause to completely stop. This is absolutely recommended if you want to continue the track on a different client/device.

I tried that today and it is doing the same thing. The time upon resuming does not change, but the audio at that point does. For example, my paused time may be 10 hours, 43 minutes and 11 seconds. When I resume, that time is the time it resumes at, but I am a minute (or more sometimes) prior in the …

Thank you for taking time to look at this, been bothering me for awhile. Some info about it. I download the files to my phone before playing them, so network activity shouldn’t matter. I only use a single device to play the book. I have android auto setup to use it plexamp, but the problem happens …

I can tell you where it’s trying to resume: Mar 21, 2025 14:02:50.642 [0x40dcf6c0] INFO - BASS: Queueing stream (1 total, 0 handles) with identifier 1742556328464, gain 2.6 dB, overlap duration 0 ms, start offset 37057079 ms (paused: 1). …but I can’t tell you if that’s where it ends up, obviously. …

I did a little testing. I think it happens when my phone connects to my Ford android auto. I will attempt to do some planned plays and pauses, then get those logs. When I pause on my device without a connection to an external source, it seems to pause and pickup at the same place. In my car, whi…

It really shouldn’t matter which device it is, as the car e.g. won’t give it a specific place to resume from.

Plexamp.log (133.1 KB) Attached is a log where I played, then paused, then played, then paused. The second play was about 10-15 seconds away from my first pause. I then queued to the spot and listened, then paused at the end. This was in my car. I looked through the log and it has lots of times…

Ah, so I think you’re running into some code we have to specifically handle long-form audio where, upon pausing, it seeks back a little bit so that you don’t lose anything. It looks to be trying to seek back ~600 ms to account for the soft fades we do on pause/resume. The format you have is MP3, so…

Thanks for looking into this issue. Whether it fixes it or not, thanks for the time it took.

In MP3s, it’s possible seeking isn’t exact.

Without Plexamp logs we’re guessing at where it was trying to resume at vs where it ended up.
