I run ABS on my laptop, and the main issue I run into is that when my laptop changes networks (i.e my vs my parents wifi), it completely breaks syncing. I wish you could set up a server and say 'this will be available on x,y, or z ip, try them all'

The android app does allow you to download audio books for offline listening, which I use a lot when driving. Unfortunately the 'playlist' doesn't seem to just autoplay the next book. I don't like interacting with my phone behind the wheel. Not sure if it has an android auto app or not.

It has Android auto, I've used it in a previous car and it's decent enough. Like the other commenter said - I'd install tailscale and connect via that.

Use tailscale or another private VPN to not suffer from changing networks.

The end-to-end principle would suggest this should be solved by the app and server.

If the server entry is by DNS name then all is well, if by IP address, then its not so flexible and will complain/not-work.

I think there are plans to rectify this behavior in a future release though.
