- pwinnski 6y agoaudiobook-related metadata does not include the current play position, in this case. It includes things like author and editor and narrator.
- encom 6y agoNo, that's entirely player-specific and has nothing to do with the MP4 format at all.
- majewsky 6y agoI don't know Syncthing internals, but state of the art in file syncing is to use rolling checksums to identify which parts of the file have changed. If only a few bytes of the file are overwritten, only the immediate vicinity of these bytes would be synced.
