Align the play position of downloaded and streaming audiobooks.

I'm going on a trip with spotty Internet so I've downloaded an audiobook I'm in the middle of. The home page shows "resume" for the streaming file and remembers my place. Great. 

But if I go to downloads, I have to go to music, then artist, then the authors name, then the books name, then to music videos to get my download to play. And the position on the downloaded file isn't the same as non-downloaded. 

So, I end up using the streaming file when I can because it's easier to get to from the home page, but when I'm offline and dig all the way down to my download, the play head isn't in the right place. I'd love if the two stayed in sync and if I could play then from the same place.

To elaborate - This functionality exists in videos with the content picker. I'd love to see the exact same thing in audiobooks.

Hi, are you asking about music videos or audio books?

[gbutton 3]

Audio books. For some reason, my downloaded audiobooks are seen as music videos in the UI.

HI, what app version number are you seeing this on?

This is VERY annoying. I have this same issue too. Latest iOS app version, but has always been an issue and never worked. 

Not to mention Emby deciding to mark the audiobook read when you have a fair amount left. Server library settings do not honour any settings in this regard.

4.8.11.0

It'll show in the book section, but the player there doesn't like to remember my position. When I click on the music video title, I get the full player.
