If playback starts near the end of the video, the MPD file must be specifying a live presentation.
Can you share your MPD file?

here is one of my mpd files:

So, for VOD (static) content, your MPD file should not specify MPD@availabilityStartTime or MPD@timeShiftBufferDepth (unfortunately the player cannot rely on the MPD's type to determine if a presentation is VOD or live).

We also found an issue with the player: the player was treating certain content as partially VOD and partially live in the demo UI. We'll have patches up soon to correct this issue.

However, you will still need to remove MPD@timeShiftBufferDepth from your MPD file since it specifies VOD content.
