I have tried every suggested solution in this thread, and it is still an issue for me. Unity 5.4.2.

The solution is to check if the system is playing before calling the method like this:
if (!particleSystem.isPlaying) {
particleSystem.Play ();
}

Getting this issue in 5.3.4f1 still. Tried JEFEQUESO's solution but didn't work either. I did a work around by changing the emission rate to 0 to stop playback and the original emission rate value to play it back.
//Stop playback
particleSys.emissionRate = 0;
//Play particle system
particleSys.emissionRate = 10;

Still having issues starting a particle system from code, using the Play() function. Switching from local to world simulation space solves this issue, but it's obviously not a solution. Version is Unity 5.3.4f1Personal. Both on Windows and OSX.

Totally not fixed. Can no longer vote. must open new issue. JEFEQUESO's solution works but lame to have to do.

I'm experiencing this issue in 5.3.2f1. Jefequeso's solution works, though this bug should be fixed

Workaround: Enable "Sub Emitters" on the particle system (values can be left to none)...

Particle System still won't play if you:
- Set "Looping" to false.
- Set "Simulation Space" to Local.
- Set "Play on Awake" to false.
in 5.3.2f1
Would you please fix this issue already?

I'm also experiencing this issue still.
I have zombies that are supposed to play a blood splat particle effect upon being hit.
If bullets hit the zombies repeatedly with a time between shots being about 0.25 seconds, after not having been shot, the particles play repeatedly, as they should. As soon as I stop shooting them however, wait a second, then shoot again, the particles will not play.
I've been messing around with combinations of
zombieBlood.Stop();
zombieBlood.Clear();
zombieBlood.Simulate(0.0f, true, true);
zombieBlood.Play();
and can't get anything to work reliably.
