Skip to Timestamp allows two ways of generating links in your posts that automatically skip to a given time 
in an embedded media element. You’ve seen it in the Youtube descriptions, now get it in your embeds!
To create a link, either:
<ul>
<li>Use our [skipto] shortcode which takes a “time” (or “timestamp” or “ts”) argument and uses that to create a link. 
Eg, “Just wait until…or…hold on, you can [skipto time=4:30]skip to[/skipto] this part of the video!”</li>
<li>Check the “Replace Timestamps Automatically” checkbox in the Settings > Skip to Timestamp, and watch as all your 
timestamps in the form “4:30” or “1:23:45” are automatically converted into links.</li>
</ul>
The links search for and skip to a time in:
<ul>
<li>Youtube videos embedded using WordPress embeds. Make sure you’re just pasting in the Youtube video link into your post editor and let WordPress embed things for you to ensure that the correct player is inserted into your post.</li>
<li>HTML5 <audio> elements. Jetpack, Blubrry Powerpress and other plugins do this automatically using the [audio] shortcode.</li>
<li>HTML5 <video> elements. Jetpack and other plugins do this automatically using the [video] shortcode.</li>
</ul>

This is one of my favorite plugins to recommend to Blubrry PowerPress users who are looking for a way to link to specific sections of their episodes from within the show notes. This plugin is maintained regularly and the code is well written. Thanks @doytch!



Works great with PowerPress

I recently noticed the JS for this on the boagworld podcast, same JS signatures, and works with a plugin I authored for media-playback-speed, so I'm very happy at the focused, long-term success of this plugin.

I'm quite interested in using data-attributes rather than an onclick handler as then I can more easily use, so if you have a repo URL I can PR to, I'd be even happier.

Enhances one of my favourite podcasts

Adds clickable links via shortcode or search-and-replace that skip to a time in a media player.
