In the media element load algorithm [1], step 4 resets the current playback position to 0 if the media element has a previously or partially loaded resource. I think we should send a "timeupdate" event if this causes the current playback position to change. This is makes it easier for controls UI to keep their playback positions up-to-date with the actual playback position, and it makes sense to send a timeupdate event since we are changing the current time. You could argue that sending a timeupdate event in step 4 of the load algorithm is implied by changing the current playback position, but the spec is explicit everywhere else that we send timeupdate events, so it would be nice to be explicit here too. All the best, Chris Pearce. [1] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/video.html#media-element-load-algorithm
