As of earlier today, seek_track was working fine. Now, it's restarting whatever track is playing instead of seeking the correct location.

`import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth
from pprint import pprint
from time import sleep

scope = "user-read-playback-state,user-modify-playback-state"
auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(scope=scope)
sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=auth_manager)

Shows playing devices

res = sp.devices()
pprint(res)

Change track

sp.start_playback(uris=['spotify:track:6gdLoMygLsgktydTQ71b15'])
sleep(5)

New track position

newProgressMS = 10000
sp.seek_track(position_ms=10000)
`

Using PyCharm IDE on Windows.
