Customizable rollback time after pause

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

One of my users finds the amount of time the ABS app rolls back upon resume to be annoyingly long. I, on the other hand, think it's perfect.

Describe the solution you'd like

A setting where that can be changed. Filling in a box with 1 second granularity without changing the default would be perfect

This was updated so that you can disable the auto-rewind. I also found the auto-rewind to be too aggressive so it was reduced in the latest release.

Right now I use Listen Audiobook Player on Android which allows you to set rewind times based on how long it has been paused. This is great because if it has only been a few seconds or minutes, I don't need to go back very far to remember what was being read, but if it has been a day or two, then I need more of a refresher. I also like the ability to customize the times since everyone's preference is different. This is one of the biggest features I look for in an app (which is why I hate almost all iOS apps, because I can't find any that do this). I'm excited for this project and to see where it will go!

Thanks for that screenshot. I am unsure about one thing though. If you close out of an audiobook and start another audiobook, then go back after an hour to the first book will it auto rewind?

Currently in abs the auto rewind only takes place if the player is open and paused for X amount of time then play is pressed.

[darickc]

Yes it does. It must keep track when playing stops for any reason. I can close the player completely, come back in and it will rewind it.

Got it. I'll have to think about this because our app also allows streaming from the server.

We only store local playback sessions in the db on the phone so we may need to change the data model a bit to support this.

That would be awesome!

This would be a really awesome change since I had problems with the auto rewind lately.
Sometimes when listening to an offline file the auto rewind would just go back about five minutes, which can be really annoying.
A soon implementation of this would awesome!

Fully in line with what @darickc wants, last stop time synced up to server and rewind being applied based on that would be awesome 😎

This feature would be really great!
