Play Movie or TV show from a user provided position
#1
I'm trying to make a JSON call to start playback of a movie from a user provided position but it doesn't seem to be working. It starts the movie from start. I want this to happen regardless of whether the movie has been previously watched or has a resume set. Here are the two calls I've tried, I've also tried some other calls in between, but didn't note them down, needless to say they didn't work either.

      // **** This starts movie from the beginning 
    { params:   {   item:       { movieid : <id>  }, 
                    options :   { resume:  { position: <currentPosition>, total: <totalSeconds>)  }  }
                },
    jsonrpc: '2.0',
    method: 'Player.Open',
    id: 1 };

      //    ******** This gives an error
    { params:   {   item:       { movieid : <id>  }, 
                    options :   { resume:  { hours: 0, minutes : 0, seconds: <timeinSeconds>  } 
                                } 
                },
    jsonrpc: '2.0',
    method: 'Player.Open',
    id: 1 };

Please advice if this is even possible or do I need to do Play and then Seek to position.
