Playing from nth video in aplaylists and stop looping after last video

hi I am trying to play a series of videos using contentIsPlaylist = true. while doing this I am facing two issues.
1> Though I set loop to false, its still lopping again to the first video.
2> I am not able to start the nth video in the play lists by setting the nextContentIndex and contentIndex to n.

    Did you ever get this working? I'm having the same issue. After looking at their docs, the only way I could KIND OF get it working was to do something like this:

    player.control = "play"
    player.nextContentIndex = x
    player.control = "skipcontent"

    However, that's a very poor solution since you briefly see the first video appear before it flips to the x item. It's also unacceptable from an analytic standpoint since there's a quick hit on the first video.
