How to pass seconds to player.seek?

Configuration
1

While the kodi api perfectly skips 10 seconds using this curl:

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "Player.Seek", "params": { "value": { "seconds": 10 }, "playerid": $HomeRemote.Kodi_CurrentPlayerID.Value } }

I can’t figure out, how to add the additonal dictonary for seconds in homeassistant. This set’s the media back to it’s beginning, while using value:10 (without seconds) sets the media to it’s percentage hence 10%.

entity_id: media_player.localhost
method: Player.Seek
value:
  seconds: 10
playerid: 1

I never got as far as changing the seek beyond what is programmed into Kodi as I never saw a need to, since this works identical to my remote control:

  - service: kodi.call_method
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.kodi
      method: Input.ExecuteAction
      action: stepforward
    entity_id: media_player.kodi

Then it uses the standard forward step intervals

The following ended up working here:


 kodi_seek_playing:
   alias: "kodi seek TEST"
   sequence:
   - service: kodi.call_method
     data:
       method: Player.Seek
       value:
         seconds: 900
       playerid: 1
       entity_id: media_player.someplayer
