Description

### Description

The value "Total time remaining" of the play queue differs between Android app and web player (play.pocketcasts.com).

Currently Android app says: "Total time remaining: 36h 20m"

Web player: "36h 12m total time remaining".

Both are synced correctly, as they're showing 23m 01s remaining of the current episode in the "Now playing" screen.
In the play queue screen on Android, it is reporting only 22m left of current episode.

### Step-by-step reproduction instructions

Prereq: Sync between devices.

1. On PC, Go to web player, select "Up Next". Note the time remaining of play queue.
2. On different Android device, open Pocket Casts and "Up Next". Compare remaining time with web player.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the discrepancy using the listed Android and web-player steps with sync enabled. Compare how the Up Next total is calculated with the Now Playing remaining time, and consider the issue done when Android and web report the same total for the same queue.
