    Testing a you tube video URL to start playing at a specified time in the video.

    "t=763"

    For example: (omitted the https:// portion)

    youtu.be/9viOArsegIs?t=763

    Nope, doesn't work.
    The video wants to play from the beginning.

    Desired URL:
    youtu.be/9viOArsegIs?t=763

    It cuts off the "?t=463" portion in the URL when attempting to post and it ends up as:

    MEDIA=youtube]9viOArsegIs[/MEDIA

    Hmmm.

    I do not think that will work.

    Once you start it, Then you can jump ahead

    The meat of a video should start at the beginning, Then the BS should be near the end. :D

    Some YouTube videos can be irritating. :mad:

    Works for me. Video started at the 12:42 mark, if that is what you were attempting?
    BTW, I will watch this as it looks like a good way to restore wafer switches! Thanks.

    Hi Charles - it DOES work if you edit the link and append the "?t=463" - see your OP where I made that change. It works fine.

    But XenForo doesn't know how to display the preview for that - so it strips off the preview window, leaving the raw link.

    So it just looks like this:

    youtu.be/9viOArsegIs?t=763

    and isn't even an actual link as such - you have to highlight the text, then right-click then "go to"

    As soon as you append the "https://" the software reverts to a basic YouTube link without the time parameter. It's just a XenForo thing. They probably never even thought about folks wanting to post time-stamped YouTube video links.

    Thanks Dave.

    Sometimes you just want to show someone a particular spot in the video when describing something technical without running the entire movie production video. Lol.

    Anyways I was just trying to figure out if Xenforo can do that. Hope you enjoy the holidays and stay warm up there. :)
