Playing a video after setCurrentTime always plays video from beginning

[startupmasters]

Expected Behavior

Setting the video seconds with setCurrentTime() and playing the video after that should play the video from the previously set time

Actual Behavior

Setting the video seconds with setCurrentTime() works and sets the video to the 10th second. Clicking the 'play' button on the player after that, however, always plays the video from the beginning.

Steps to Reproduce

Here is a JSFiddle link to see that - http://jsfiddle.net/etgk7dcq/

P.S. I don't want to autoplay the video after setting the time. I want the users to be able to play the video (if they want) from where they left off.

Good to know that. Will be following. Let me know if I can assist or provide more information.

Hey @fisherinnovation, any updates on the issue?

Managed to apply a 'fix' to get this working for my case right now. I wrapped the .setCurrentTime() in a setTimeout() of 500ms.

Not the prettiest of solutions, but it gets the job done for me.

+1 to implement a fix on this one

We also stumbled across this, took us a few hours to finally realize this was a bug and not our code. Though it only seems to happen when you use setCurrentTime just after loadVideo() (e.g. before any play() attempt has been made). Calls of setCurrentTime after the play()-Function has successfully been executed once seem to work as intended.

There also seems a second bug here in that the documentation says "If playback hasn't started yet, using this method starts playback." when in fact this will not happen, at least not in the case outlined above.
