HTML5 video - not setting the current time

Question

This is driving me nuts!

video.addEventListener 'ended', (e) =>
    e.target.currentTime = 0
    console.log e.target.currentTime
    # 5.33 seconds NOT 0

The video plays, and the ended event is called, but the currentTime is not changed.

Does changing the currentTime outside of an event callback work? Eg. in the developer console — minikomi, Feb 07 '13 at 08:08
Nope, same thing: video.get(0).currentTime = 0 video.get(0).currentTime 5.248000144958496 — Harry, Feb 07 '13 at 08:16
well video.load() actually reloads the video at 0 time. So this is a solution i think — Harry, Feb 07 '13 at 09:10

This may be able to help you:

video = document.getElementById('video');
begin_play  = 50;
play_video_frist = true; //if you want to run only frist time    
video.addEventListener("play", capture, false);

function capture(event) 
{
     if (event.type == "play") {
         if (play_video_frist) {
             play_video_frist = false;
             video.currentTime = begin_play;
          }
     }
}
