Reset html video to start

Question

I have an html video which I need to start from the beginning. I have used

video.currentTime = 0;

That resets the video to starting place but I have also set poster image for the video. If the video is completely played then poster image shows on the video but when I reset it in the middle, the poster image is not displaying.

$("#splashvideo").get(0).pause();
$('#splashvideo').get(0).currentTime = 0;

<video src="Splash.mp4" playsinline width="100%" height="450px" id="splashvideo" muted poster="slideshow_placeholder.png">
</video>

A reload will do the trick

$("#slideshowaudio").get(0).load();

I tried that, the video starts from the beginning but still no poster image after load. – dev_sk Feb 27 '20 at 11:19
It's a little dirty, but maybe setting `src=""` and then back to the video url – izambl Feb 27 '20 at 15:36
Still, no poster image for the video. – dev_sk Feb 27 '20 at 16:24
If the video is finished then the poster image shows, but not when I stop it in the middle. – dev_sk Feb 27 '20 at 16:26
