Movie won't play from beginning

I sometimes have problems with movies if there is an indication that they have partially been watched.  If I open a movie in the Roku channel and get the option of Resume/Play from Beginning sometimes the movie files will not open if I choose Play from Beginning instead of Resume--the loading file screen comes up but it doesn't completely load and Media Browser goes back to the beginning Play Screen.  This seems to be more of a problem with larger sized video files.  I was wondering if there is a way to clear the partially played memory for a movie so Media Browser will only offer the option of playing rather than Play or Resume.

You need to toogle the played/watched in "more" or via the web client.

Thanks.  I checked and unchecked the watched check mark in the web client and the indicator showing that the movie was partially played disappeared so I think that worked.

I checked one of the movies that Roku wouldn't let me play from the beginning--only from the resume point.  Clearing the partially watch state did resolve the problem.

but that doesn't help the next person who might have this problem and doesn't want to clear their watch state
