bbcode youtube start from specific time

try with &t= instead of ?t=

edit = fail, don't try this

Hey zyvy,

You should be able to do it by following the instructions here.

Laz

Dear Laz, if you reread the original post carefully and try quoting it into the editor to see the raw code of that post (namely, of its very end that was supposed to contain a video), you'll notice that zyvy tried inserting a link exactly in the youtu.be format in which Youtube gives the link if one uses the 'automatic' method ('The Easy Way') from the article that you've suggested, and the fact that the link wasn't embedded properly is an issue with specifically Pokerstrategy's forum software.

However, inserting a link in the following format (aka 'The Long Way')

[youtube] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54wQIjT2g7A&t=34m49s [/youtube]

does do the trick:

So the only thing that needs to be fixed is the embedding of videos in the

format.

Not quite. I was suggesting # rather than ?

Agree that it is probably our forum software not supporting it. #t= works fine at youtube

i know how to put video into [youtube*]

but how to make it start from specific time like

will be just link to video that start from 34:49min

The instructions laz linked to suggest the # sign, and as you can see, it works as well as the?
It doesn't work inside the

I thought that perhaps the problem related to using the shortened youtu.be form of the link, so I tried the full version:

[youtube] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54wQIjT2g7A#t=5m19s [/youtube]

The full form of the url works with both the ? and the #, but neither works inside the tags.
It seems Laz's conclusion that the difficulty is with the youtube tag implementation in this forum.

Some sites mention using ?start=79
This may work for embedded, but doesn't here.

thanks for answers but none of them works as embed ,

when you inspect element, you will see that youtube address is stripped, and it don't have time where it should be starting video.

i think on this site you just use some sanitation and removing everything what is after special characters like #,/,\,&, including those characters.

and if the character is: ? (question mark), than you just remove: ? (question mark) and keep what is after it

Which browser are you using?

It looks like Youtube saves the moment at which I paused a video (or opened it the last time?) so my and Vorpal's embedding attempts actually link just to the video without a specific timestamp but Youtube jumps to a later moment in the video automatically.

That's why I was under the impression that my method worked - I had opened the video through your initial link so Youtube memorised that I last opened it at 34:49.

I tested this on firefox and chrome

yes youtube will remember when you already seen that video
just to test if that is the case try to change time in the link from 34:49 to other time for example 12:34, and past that link with new time it should start

Yeah, I did that as well. After I discovered that, I did each test on a different video.
I think that the best solution here is to use a standard url with time code when you need to post a link with a certain offset.

The youtube tags seem to "clean up" the url.

All the best,
