client.playMedia's offset parameter is ineffective

[louis-pre]

Describe the Bug

After calling client.playMedia(movie, offset=10000, the movie starts at its beginning.

Code Snippets

plex = plexapi.server.PlexServer(baseurl, token)
movie = plex.library.section("Movies").get("The Terminator")
client = plex.client("MyClientName")
client.playMedia(movie, offset=10000)

Expected Behavior

The movie should start at the 10s mark.

Additional Context

Calling client.seekTo(10000) shortly after the movie starts works as intended.

I have tested with both the LG WebOS app as client and the macOS HTPC app.
