YouTube Timestamps Component

[balupton (Benjamin Lupton)]

Converts timestamps within a post, to timestamp hyperlinks to the post’s (otherwise the topic’s) associated YouTube video.

https://github.com/bevry/discourse-component-youtubetimestamps

See it in action here

• Maps of Meaning #9 - #2 by balupton - Youtube Videos - Bevry Discuss (has things like 5:1 , 11:1 that are correctly not timestamped)
• Maps of Meaning #8 - #2 by balupton - Youtube Videos - Bevry Discuss (has a link to a referenced youtube video inside the notes, hence usage of # my notes for [associated youtube video](...) to make sure correct youtube video is associated)
• Ep. 4 - Awakening from the Meaning Crisis - Socrates and the Quest for Wisdom - #3 by balupton - Youtube Videos - Bevry Discuss (standard, associated to topic youtube video)

Note: Firefox is currently unsupported.

Seems like a great plugin. Unless I am misunderstanding the plugin’s purpose, the example topics you’ve supplied don’t seem to be displaying the links as timestamps though.

Which browser are you using? Has been working fine for me on chrome and safari.

I used Firefox to test this out. I can confirm that viewing in chrome does work though.

Looking in dev tools for FireFox this is whats rendered in html for each timestamp:

<li>
<p>0:00 - what are the constants of experience?</p>
</li>

In chrome, this is whats rendered:

<li>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXZSeiAl4PI&amp;t=0s" title="View the video yXZSeiAl4PI at 00s">00s</a> — recap of jung, archetypes</p>
</li>

So checked the console in Firefox and got SyntaxError: invalid regexp group errors.

Turns out Firefox doesn’t supported named capture groups for regular expressions:

1362154 - Implement RegExp named groups

Going to mark Firefox as unsupported, however seems they are working on it - perhaps will land by the end of the year looking at current progress on their side.

Will update the readmes accordingly, thanks for the heads up!

Hey folks, seems like whatever time stamp I use, it picks 00s

Using a format like 2:20:23 - hrs mins secs or 2:23 min secs. Could you help?
