I have just implemented 30 mediabox video popups in a document edited with JCE.

28 of these function fine, but the 2 with an &t= attribute in the URL don't. The video plays, but from the beginning and not from the specified starting point. Is there any way around this please?

The page is at https://michaelbarraclough.uk/spring-ball/dance-list

The 4th link from the top and the 4th link from the bottom are the problem links. When you hover over them you can see that the link is correct (both have &t=nnns at the end. However when you click on the link and the popup appears, the video starts at the beginning and not at the time specified in the link.

Please post a link to an example popup.

The correct syntax for this is start=nnn without the s unit. Also, if the URL does not have a ? in it, then you must use ?start=nnn. If it does, then use &start=nnn

That has fixed it. Thank you. I was copying the URL as provided by YouTube. Where can I find the documentation that specifies the correct syntax, please?

It looks like a video link uses the t=nnn variable, whereas an embed url uses start=nnn

I will update MediaBox and JCE to convert t to start in the next update, later this week.
