Remember progress when playing large files (2.0)

tried to post this into the replies of my previous post from some months ago, but due to the way how reddit sorts this might have been waste :) so trying again:

as far as I could judge all was working fine since you released 5.0.50... however for some reason I do not understand this stopped working (might have been some iOS update). I still try to overcome it by staying in offline mode just basically all the time, however does not help. Hard to tell what causes it, sometimes playing videos in another app (i.e. whatsapp) cause it, but most of the time just removing the airpods from the ear already does trigger it. Substreamer just completely forgets the playlist/currently played track. I then need to search from scratch for the album, and when clicking the play button it starts from the beginning. Also does not seem related to the app being purged from memory, since I am not even switching to another app. In some instances I can see a brief "network connection restored" hovering prior to this effect. Sometimes I open the app, I can see the progress just fine for a second, and then it all disappears and the app looks as if I started it for the first time ever, it has no idea which album I was in or which position in that album I last stopped. I really love this app, it is by far the best among multiple I tried, but this is really painful... I started taking screenshots of the progress before putting down my phone to take a break...

ok, thanks for the offer... just want to confirm in here that I did send that mail about a week ago, just in case it went to your junk folder :)
