Summary

Starting a track that has a stored position plays a split second of its opening, then jumps forward to the saved point. Play it again later in the same session and it starts from zero instead, having forgotten the position entirely.

Play() wired the stream to the speaker and only then let applyResume() seek, so that first fraction of a second came from 0:00. PlayAt() positions the decoder before the pipeline reaches the speaker, where nothing is consuming it yet, so no audio plays from the start.

The position was also a one-shot startup hint, consumed on first use. Providers that track position server-side can now answer per track via provider.TrackPosition, asked on every play; m.resume stays the fallback.

The provider lookup runs in the playback command's goroutine rather than the UI loop, since the Audiobookshelf client allows 30s. A failed seek is ignored deliberately so the track starts from the beginning instead of refusing to play. yt-dlp is untouched.

How to test

  1. Play a local file, let it run past a few seconds, quit cliamp, then relaunch it with the same file. Playback should begin at the stored position with no audio from 0:00.
  2. From the Audiobookshelf provider pane (B), open a partly played episode and confirm the same — it starts at the stored position rather than playing the opening first.
  3. Let that episode run for a minute, switch to another track, then come back to it. It should resume from where you left off, not from the earlier stored position and not from zero.
  4. Play a track with no stored progress and confirm it starts from the beginning.
  5. Play a YouTube/SoundCloud URL to confirm the yt-dlp path still plays and still resumes.
  6. Switch tracks a few times in a row and confirm the UI stays responsive.

Checklist

  • make check passes
  • docs/ and site/index.html updated for user-facing changes

docs/provider-development.md lists the new TrackPosition interface, and docs/audiobookshelf.md notes that replaying a file resumes it. site/index.html needs no change — it does not describe resume behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a TrackPosition provider capability, resolves server or saved resume positions, and starts playback at the selected offset. Audiobookshelf progress validation and documentation are updated.

Changes

Playback resume position

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track position contract and provider
provider/interfaces.go, external/audiobookshelf/provider.go, docs/provider-development.md, docs/audiobookshelf.md
Adds the TrackPosition interface and Audiobookshelf implementation. The implementation validates progress and converts it to a track-relative position. Documentation describes the capability and replay behavior.
Offset-aware playback
player/engine.go, player/player.go
Adds Engine.PlayAt. Play delegates to it, and seekable non-yt-dlp playback attempts the requested offset.
Resume resolution and playback wiring
ui/model/notifications.go, ui/model/playback.go, ui/model/commands.go, ui/model/playback_test.go, ui/model/resume_test.go, ui/model/stream_seek_keys_test.go
Finds providers that report track positions. Resolves provider positions with saved resume data as fallback. Local and streamed playback pass the resolved offset to PlayAt. Tests update fake engines and cover resume matching, zero positions, clearing resume state, and repeated calls.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5f4c0

The playback changes can lose saved provider resume state after failed playback and can alter resume behavior for yt-dlp searches. These are concrete correctness regressions affecting playback position, so merge should wait for the targeted fixes.

Play() wired the stream to the speaker before applyResume() seeked, so a
resumed track briefly played from 0:00 before jumping forward. Add PlayAt(),
which positions the decoder between buildPipeline() and playPipeline() --
nothing consumes the stream yet, so it needs no speaker lock and makes no
sound. Play() delegates with a zero offset.

takeResume() clears the pending resume as it hands the offset over, so the
post-play applyResume() does not seek a second time.
The startup hint fires once, so a track revisited later in the session
restarted from zero. Providers that track position server-side can now
answer per track via provider.TrackPosition, which Audiobookshelf
implements from the same progress it already reports -- so a revisited
track continues from where listening actually reached.

The lookup runs in the playback command's goroutine, not the UI loop: the
Audiobookshelf client allows 30s, and blocking there would freeze the UI on
every play if the server were unreachable.

571-575: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Honor the provider's zero-position contract.

When positioner is non-nil, provider.TrackPosition defines 0 as "start over." The pos > 0 check treats 0 as no provider value and returns hint instead. A stale m.resume value can therefore override the provider and resume a completed track.

Return the provider result whenever positioner is non-nil. Keep hint as the fallback only when no position provider exists. Add a regression case with a zero provider result and a matching m.resume. If zero should mean "no value," change the interface to use explicit absence semantics.

Proposed fix
 	return func() time.Duration {
 		if positioner != nil {
-			if pos := positioner.TrackPosition(track); pos > 0 {
-				return pos
-			}
+			return positioner.TrackPosition(track)
 		}
 		return hint
 	}

Resolve TrackPosition through its own provider lookup rather than
findPlaybackReporter, which gates on PlaybackReporter and would ignore a
provider that only implements TrackPosition.

Skip that lookup for local files, so the synchronous call on the local
playback path cannot make an HTTP request on the UI goroutine.

Wrap the buildPipeline error with PlayAt context.
