jit.movie jump after loading

i want to read a movie file and instantly play it not from the start, but from a random position. i'm triggering "read" followed by "jump" and "position", but in both cases the result is i see the first frame for a moment, and only then does the playback start from the desired position

how do i skip this first frame?

(using playlist~ with "selection $1 1" works, but I don't want to preload my videos into a playlist~, i'd rather read them in as needed)
