[Feature Request] Playback History with Timestamp Navigation

[MichaelKopt]

Please add a detailed playback history view for the currently playing audiobook, showing actions like Play, Pause, Seek, and Sync with Server, each with a timestamp and position. Tapping a timestamp should jump to that exact point in the audiobook. Similar to official Audiobookshelf application for Android.

Why It Matters:

• The Audiobookshelf server often messes up the sync position when switching between devices, particularly when I was offline.

A playback history would allow users to:

• Recover lost positions after sync conflicts or server overwrites
• Track listening behavior (e.g., where they paused or skipped)
• Quickly resume from a known point without guessing or scrubbing manually
• Suggested UI Elements:

A dedicated “History” tab or button in the player view

• List of actions with:
• Timestamp (e.g., 04:22)
• Action type (Play, Pause, Seek, Sync)
• Audiobook position (e.g., 06:30:48)
• Tap-to-seek functionality on each entry
• Optional filter or grouping (e.g., Today, Yesterday)

[GrakovNe]

In the official Audiobookshelf Android app the playback history is stored locally on the device and is not synchronized with the server or between devices

It’s essentially a local action log (play, pause, seek, sync events) that the app keeps for the current user session, so you can recover your position even when the server sync gets it wrong, but those history events themselves are never uploaded or merged across clients.
