Navigation Bar not hiding itself when accessing current session

[mihirrocks9999 1]

Basically I am trying to get the current positiontick for a video I am playing. However it seems like since it is getting the positiontick, the navigation bar doesnt disappear. Im getting the position every 1 second, through these python commands:

 url = emby_url + "Sessions?DeviceId=" + device_id + "&api_key=" + api_key
 response = requests.request("GET",url)

When I just play the video, the navigation bar hides itself automatically. Is there a api to hide the navigation bar, or am I missing something.

Hi, what navigation bar do you mean?

The one with pause, forward, next episode, settings.

Did you play the video with the API?

[mihirrocks9999 1]

Yes, I used this command:

url = emby_url + "Sessions/" + session_id + "/Playing?ItemIds=" + id + "&StartPositionTicks=" + str(starttime) + "&api_key=" + api_key
response = requests.request("POST",url)

Does the video start playing normally, or does it start in a paused state and require you to first click play?
