‘Play from beginning’ button for Apple TV?

[semiligneous]

Apologies if this is jot the right forum, or if it has been already discussed elsewhere. I have searched but was unable to find it.

Is there a way to 'play from beginning' in the Apple TV app? I.e. if you are half way through, or near the end, but want to start an episode or film from the start, most streaming services (Apple TV + / Netflix etc) have a 'play from beginning' button somewhere near to where the subtitles and audio options are found.

In Swiftfin it seems that you have to go back 15 seconds at a time multiple times which can take a very long time.

Am I missing a trick, or is this a feature that is coming in a future release? Or should I request it somewhere?

This used to be included but wasn't ported over during the player refactor here:

#593

The previous work is still there in code but it needs to be reworked as well which is part of why it didn't survive the refactor.

Please create an Issue for this item so we can track this better. Just as a heads up, this will need to come after #1203 is complete.

The temporary workaround I have used is marking as played then marking as unplayed. Just make sure you're only on the selected episode if it's a series! Otherwise, if you're on the whole series, it will make everything as unwatched.

thanks @JPKribs for the info. I thought I had used the feature before on Swiftfin, but when I couldn't find it I decided I must just be going mad! I'll create an issue for tracking. Thanks :-)

Thanks for doing that! I'm going to close out this discussion since we have an issue open for it now.

Thank you for making the issue!
