AFAIK the current onebox implementation works with urls of the form: [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=)

This form of the URL accepts limited player parameters while alternate forms offer a [much bigger parameter list](http://www.techairlines.com/youtube-parameters/) that can come in very handy (better playlist control, branding, looping, etc). I am not competent to modify the existing onebox implementation without help. Any thoughts on how tough it would be to support these alternate forms?

Continuing the discussion from [Youtube times feature for replies to an embedded youtube video?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/youtube-times-feature-for-replies-to-an-embedded-youtube-video/16294):

> I thought it might be cool (if it were possible) to also have the automatic youtube play@time function when a user replies with an arbitrary time say 0:45. Not sure if it is possible for embedded videos but it’s just a thought. I would imagine it may be possible with some js though? And if many videos are posted, I guess the original post should be replied to directly so the time is linked to the right video. If there are multiple videos in one post however, well, I don’t know. Just thoughts out on a line. Super nit-picky feature but thought I’d share 😛
