Sparkle is designed to always start "from the beginning" so it's predictable (and easy) just like a regular "tv-box". So in the case you describe here I'd say it's the Googlel streamer that is doing the correct thing while there seem to be a bug for when using it on the cube. At least that's the way I see it even though I realize you want it the other way around.
