youtube tag start time

Post by bookworm »

Is the start time parameter on the youtube tag not working for everyone, or just me?
This happened about a week ago, but I cleared my cache and it worked again so I thought it was just my browser, but it’s happening again now and I am unable to make it work this time.

Tell me, when does this video start playing for you? At the beginning, or a little ways in?

Okay, good.
Well, not good that means it's broken; but at least it's not just me.
Like I said it happened before but fixed itself. I guess just give it some time.

Were you copying the url for a specific time in the video?

Not a url, it's a BBCode parameter. It should be starting the video 10 seconds in.

You can solve it by putting ?t=10s at the end of the URL.

Err, I misspoke. The start time feature doesn't work unless you use the youtu.be domain. In this case, the link is

Code: Select all

[youtube]http://youtu.be/WROOqR-H_kw?t=10s[/youtube]
You can get the code by clicking "Share" underneath the video and putting in your start time.

I didn't know the [youtube] tag had that parameter. I think only YouTube can do it.

It didn't, until I requested it. Which I did because you can't embed the shortened url:
