Resuming play/stop position

[chz8494]

I was following your tutorial example and used clicked method, it works perfectly and can play again from the stopped position.

          playPause.onclick = (e) => {
            if (e.target.classList.contains("disabled")) {
              return;
            }
            api.playPause();
          };
          stop.onclick = (e) => {
            if (e.target.classList.contains("disabled")) {
              return;
            }
            api.stop();
          };

but if I don't use this method, instead just call api.stop() directly from a socket.io function, it fails to remember the stop/pause position and keeps restarting from the very beginning.

          socket.on('play', function(){
            api.playPause();
          });
          socket.on('stop', function(){
            api.stop();
          });

would like to know what I'm missing and how to tell player where to continue.
Thanks.

The behavior is intended like you describe it.

Stops the playback of the current song, and moves the playback position back to the start. https://alphatab.net/docs/reference/api/stop/

Stop is like the stop button in a music player where playback is fully reset. The position is remembered on pause.

Wow, thank you, I misread the stop function and didn't notice there's a pause.
