[Enhancement]: Add option to automatically close player after audiobook is finished #720

Describe the feature/enhancement

It would be nice to add an option to automatically close the player once the audiobook is completely finished.

Background: We like to relisten to an audiobook once it is over. Now whenever an audiobook is finished the webapp and smartphone app are in a somewhat weird state. The audiobook page says that it is finished and the "play" button says "playing" (or "streaming") and is not active. In the player you can press the play button but it either plays the last track or it starts an infinit seeking process. In any way I have to manually close (in android app: open player --> select hamburger menu --> choose close player) to get to my expected behaviour which is just press "Play" (or "Stream") in the audiobook page to play the audio book again. Adding an option to automatically close the player would solve this.

I just tested this in the webapp and if you press play again it restarts the audiobook, so I think you are just referring to the mobile app here.
