Feature request: permit start time code in embed
YouTube supports this, maybe other providers too. YouTube uses the t=seconds URL param, which must be updated in both of the embed URL's to work. When I update my embeds, it looks like a validator is stripping this token out.
Please permit it to pass through unmolested, and for double-bonus extra happy points, consider adding a field to the submission form to automatically add it.
Thanks!

lucky760We already support this, but the parameter is start=seconds rather than t=seconds. See: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/player_parameters.html#start
oohahhHi Lucky, thanks for the quick response.
Different parameter. In this case, I'm talking about a URL param, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnX5v0uwNjc&feature=player_embedded&t=30. Changing the two URL's in the
<embed>will also make a video start later.Your documentation suggests the better way to accomplish that is to insert
<param name="start" value="30"></param>in my<embed>.I've tried it both ways, changing the URL's in the embed, inserting the
<param name="start" value="30"></param>, and doing both. None of those changes are sticking. Ideas?Thanks,
oohahh
lucky760Actually, the start=seconds method is for the URL as well, but the URL in video embeds. For example:
ororThe URLs you're referring to (starting with youtube.com/watch?v=) are for watching a video on YouTube, but those aren't used when posting to VideoSift, as we only accept <object>, <embed>, and <iframe> embed codes from YouTube (unless I'm forgetting about some way that you can do that, and if that's the case, please remind me).
lucky760The lack of a response makes me think this issue is resolved. Unless there are any objections, *discard.
