API - Play from beginning?

[mrgf09]

Screaming zombies sounds like the first thing I'd want.

@maddox Just checking in on this one a few years later! Any chance this is still a possibility?

Question about the API. I can play a recording using this CURL command:
/api/play/recording/{recording_id}

But if the recording was previously partially watched, I am asked if I want to resume or play from the beginning. Is there an API call I can use to always play a recording from the beginning?

[maddox]

There isn't. It's going to just follow the resume settings.

@maddox Welp, I don't know if that is working correctly.

On my client (Apple TV) under Playback settings I turned Resume Playback off. That works as expected when accessing the Channels app directly. No matter where I am in a video, pressing play restarts it at the beginning.

But when I play it via the API, it still resumes where it left off. Is this a bug?

You’re right. Closing this old thread and pointing to your new one:

Bug: API does not respect client Resume Playback setting

On my client (Apple TV 4K) under Playback settings I turned Resume Playback off. That works as expected when accessing the Channels app directly. No matter where I am in a video, pressing play restarts it at the beginning. But when I play it via the API, it still resumes where it left off. Is this a bug?
