I'm still a novice computer user because they weren't around when I was in school & the reason I got into computers was because I moved from the Western USA where there were several casino's with "live" poker games to GA where there is no "live" poker.

One thing I learned here was how to put a youtube video into a post instead of using the link to the Youtube video.

I'm curious to know if I can put a shortened Youtube video into a post. Say the video is 8 minutes long & you only want people to see the last 2 minutes of it. I know u could tell people to just move the slider to the 6 minute part.

I'd like to know if there is a way to shorten the 8 minute video to just show the last 2 minutes. So it looks like it is a 2 minute video.

THANKS

The easiest way is to start the YouTube video from the point you want, 6 mins in.

Play the video on YouTube and go to the point you want, then pause the video. Right click and select Copy video url at current time. Use that url to post in the forum.

No, you can't inline a YouTube video that starts at a certain point, you can only do a link. Would be nice if you could.

You might try searching "youtube html tag attributes" to see if its possible.

pretty sure he's talking about doing this:



and this:

all at once, yes?

which can't be done using bb code, as far as i know

It might even not be available for youtube embed in general, never seen this feature used on an embedded video.

He's a witch!

How, you bastard? Hooooow????

.

You guys have to show off your mad youtube embed skillz in Laughs or Links!

Add e.g. "?start=61&end=90" after the youtube-code of the video to let it start at 1:01 and end at 1:30. The "&end=..." is needed. If you want it to run until the end set that value to 0. Quote this post to see how it's done.

There are some other awesome tricks that might come in handy. (Or become super annoying in wrong hands)



For reference https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters

Thanks. Funny that it doesn't work with "?t=...".

The end parameter is not necessary. It also doesn't work the way you describe it. But you have to terminate the last parameter (because 2p2 adds ?rel=0 at the end). # or & will do it.
Examples:

[youtube]kqbqINoDzSU?start=61[/youtube] starts at the beginning
[youtube]kqbqINoDzSU?start=61&[/youtube] starts at 61
[youtube]kqbqINoDzSU?start=61&end=63[/youtube]
[youtube]kqbqINoDzSU?start=61&end=63#[/youtube] starts at 61 ends at 63

This is indeed a powerful tool; maybe this thread should be locked and hidden somewhere.

I was wondering why noone documented how to use these features using BBCODE. I found basically nothing on the Internet except stuff on how to setup BBCODE parsers, so this might not be standard anyway.

OK now something weird is going on:

lol that's odd. Is this page constantly like that to you? What browser are you using?

Some browser ****up I presume. Firefox, it's ok now.

I was a bit freaked when I stopped the two vids in the posts and the music went on. Thought I'd meet my maker lol.

Killed the autoplay function. Never want our users to get burned at work due to this. The t= is cool.

good call
