Setting the current playlist position - ErlendSB - 2010-10-09

I'm unsure if this is the right forum for my question, but consider this scenario:

I start playing a song, resulting in the entire album being queued in the music playlist.
Through a script I then clear the playlist, like this:

Code:
xbmc.PlayList(0).clear()

I then add some items to the music playlist like this:

Code:
xbmc.PlayList(0).add(music path)

Making sure the first item I add is the one I started playing in the first place.
While executing this script the music is still playing.
If I now press "Skip", the player does not start playing from position 2 in the playlist, It jumps ahead a few songs.

Does anyone know why this might occur? Is there maybe a way of resetting the players playlist position?

However, if at the end of my script, I start the player like this:

Code:
xbmc.Player().play(xbmc.PlayList(0))

the skipping works correctly.
But this will restart the song currently playing.

Hopefully some of you will enlighten me.
Thanks,
Erlend
