Start a movie from the beginning

[ajgonzalez]

How do you start a movie from the beginning? When watching a movie that was previously watched it starts at the point last watched but cannot go back to the beginning without holding the back button and essentially rewinding it. Is there a better way?

Hi ajgonzalez,

Depending on what app you are using the playback controls can be different because different service providers develope their own apps.

What app/service are you having this issue with?

[ajgonzalez]

I am using the Google TV app and playing the movie directly from the My Library section.

Hi again,

Yes with movies played from Google TV the control options are limited. The only way I have found to quickly scrub back to the start is using the Google Home app and the media button.

i have not tried using the Home app while viewing on the TV through Chromecast. i will try and hopefully work. thank you for the information.

Hi folks,

Thanks for the help, Cathal_S.

ajgonzalez, how's it going? Still need help?

Thanks,

Jennifer

i got it now. just a little inconvenient by design because the point of getting chromecast with google tv rather than the standard chromecast was to ditch the phone but the recommendation worked. 

[Cathal_S]

Yes I agree, the on-screen controls when using Google TV movies or shows is not ideal.

This community forum is mainly supported by other users like myself so the best way to request Google change this is by leaving feedback for the Google Nest team as described in the link below.
