Audiobook progress update based on time *remaining* | Requests/Ideas

This post has been merged into Audiobook Progress by Time Remaining

Some audiobook apps don't give helpful progress info other than "time remaining". Spotify is one,
but there are others. This means that to update the Storygraph progress one needs to go and look up the total time and subtract the remaining time. Simple maths, but annoying to do manually.

Presumably, though, easy maths to do programatically! Any chance we could have a 'HH:MM remaining' option added to the drop down for audio book progress updates?

I've definitely felt the pain of this. I asked about this a while ago and learned in the comment thread that for Audible, at least, there's a setting to toggle whether you're seeing "Time remaining" or "Time listened" which is very helpful... but it only works for the mini player, and not on the main listening screen, so I have to make sure I back all the way out and look in the right place before I log. I've started just using percentages for Libro.fm, even thought it's less accurate, because I just can't be bothered to do the math :( I was using calculator.net's time calculator so I didn't have to convert back and forth between minutes and hours, but it was just too much of a headache.
