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>

Skip to Timestamp

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.

<h3>How to Use Video.js HTML5 Player</h3>
In order to embed a video create a new post/page and use the following shortcode:
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4"]
</code></pre>
Here, “url” is the location of the MP4 video source file (H.264 encoded). You need to replace the sample URL with the actual URL of the video file.
<h4>Video Shortcode Options</h4>
The following options are supported in the shortcode.
WebM
You can specify a WebM video file in addition to the source MP4 video file. This parameter is optional.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" webm="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.webm"]
</code></pre>
Ogv
You can specify a Ogv video file in addition to the source MP4 & WebM video files. This parameter is optional.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" webm="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.webm" ogv="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.ogv"]
</code></pre>
Width
Defines the width of the video file (Height is automatically calculated). This option is not required unless you want to limit the maximum width of the video.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" width="480"]
</code></pre>
Preload
Specifies if and how the video should be loaded when the page loads. Defaults to “auto” (the video should be loaded entirely when the page loads). Other options:
<ul>
<li>“metadata” – only metadata should be loaded when the page loads</li>
<li>
“none” – the video should not be loaded when the page loads
[videojs_video url=”https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4″ preload=”metadata”]
</li>
</ul>
Controls
Specifies that video controls should be displayed. Defaults to “true”. In order to hide controls set this parameter to “false”.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" controls="false"]
</code></pre>
When you disable controls users will not be able to interact with your videos. So It is recommended that you enable autoplay for a video with no controls.
Autoplay
Causes the video file to automatically play when the page loads.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" autoplay="true"]
</code></pre>
Poster
Defines image to show as placeholder before the video plays.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" poster="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/poster.jpg"]
</code></pre>
Loop
Causes the video file to loop to beginning when finished and automatically continue playing.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" loop="true"]
</code></pre>
Muted
Specifies that the audio output of the video should be muted.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" muted="true"]
</code></pre>

<h3>Video.js HTTP Streaming</h3>
The plugin supports the m3u8 file format that can be used for Video.js HTTP Streaming. It allows you to play HLS, DASH, and other HTTP streaming protocols with Video.js, even where they are not natively supported.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.m3u8"]
</code></pre>
