[Bug]: Progress overwritten / marked as finished from old browser session

[0verEngineer]

I have verified that the bug is not already awaiting release

Yes

What was the Problem?

I listened to a audiobook via the app and everytime i paused (since yesterday) it was overwritten with 100% progress / marked as finished. I checked the log and it says that the 100%-progress comes from MacOS so i checked my always running MacMini and saw that it is playing on the MacMini but it was at 106%:

I have no idea why the browser tab on MacOS started playing. All devices were disconnected from the MacMini.

It is eventually the same as this: #1940

Here is a part of the logs:

That sounds like expected. If you play something it overwrites progress that is older than you current progress. And playing something always is newer than something synced some time ago.

BUT, I think you encounter this bug. I still have no clue how that should work and I still assume some extension or other hardware interacting with the Media API
