I’m sure I’ve seen it here but drat if I can find it mow.

I’m looking for the way to onevbox a youtube vid **X time into it.**

I’ve tried adding GET vars to the URL with my best guesses but have failed miserably.

Does the query param added by ticking the “start at” box on Youtube’s share widget not work?

Works fine for me. So there is no issue here.

Ah, I totally missed that and was thinking it was something I needed to add to the URL myself as in  
`?t=1m5s`

Thanks

</div>

These three all mean the same thing:

> #t=1m  
> &t=1m  
> &start=1m

You can also use:

> &end=1m  
> &loop

You might find that setting a start, end point and loop doesn’t work, however.
