Would prefer that iOS Lock Screen widget always show percentage of progress through book instead of reflecting the chapter progress if that is what is being shown in the player.

Hi @rdow64 ! it currently follows your preference, in the sense that if inside the app (and on the lock screen) you have the progress set to be viewed by chapter context, then the widget will also be by chapter, if you change to show the entire progress of the book, then the widget will also display that (it may take a while until it reflects the change, but it should update shortly). I thought about just doing book percentage, but it was weird to see the now playing info with the chapter being half way done, and the percentage up there showing let's say 5% I just read again the description, you already point this out šŸ˜…

Hmmmm I guess we could also add a second identical widget, just to make the distinction between chapter and book progress šŸ¤”

Iā€™d like the option.

I usually have the player showing the chapter progress solely to limit the progress movement if I accidentally hit the screen and cause some scrubbing :)
