Why does setting currentTime of HTML5 video element reset time in Chrome?

Question

I want to set the time position of a video in HTML5. The time should be set like this:

function settime(){
    var video = document.getElementById(\"video1\"         


        

Answer 1

This is a bug in Chrome, which apparently only happens with 'some' videos. Similar bug reports have been filed and closed numerous times in the past, so I suggest we keep a watch on it, so it doesn't get closed again until the issue is actually fixed.
