Blubrry used to work, so I’m guessing the Blubrry player has either started putting its player code into the actual post content, or you’re embedding it via a shortcode (or some other text) that contains a timestamp.

Could you let me know how you’re embedding it? Either with a screenshot or short screen capture video?

Yup, you can email me at markpd at gmail

Hey there,

I’m not really familiar with either Bzplayer Pro or Elite Player Pro. Could you give links to example pages that use either of them with self-hosted (ie, a working page) and network pages for Vimeo/Youtube (non-working pages)? I can take. a peek at it based on that.

OK, you can only use the “replace timestamps automatically” setting if you don’t use shortcodes in a post, as mentioned in the FAQ. Can you try turning off that option and only using a shortcode in a post?

Also, can you double check that the “disable automatic links” in the post editor isn’t turned on?

Can you please show a screenshot of your Skip to Timestamp settings page and the Post Editor? This will let me see if the settings are correct and the shortcode is being entered correctly.

This actually should be doable now with version 1.4 and later. Only trick is going to be that they need to have a properly defined link in the comments. The format of links is as follows:
<a href="javascript:void(0) class="qed_stt_tslink" data-stt-time="1:47">Jump to 1:47</a>

The critical part is the “data-stt-time” attribute and it’s value.

Version 1.4.1 has been replaced which reinstates the link styling. Closing this but let me know if you continue to have problems with the actual behaviour of the links.

And yeah, that screen recording is with Chrome so I don’t think it’s a browser incompatibility.

Hi there,

Thanks for the note about the link styling. I’ll fix that.

About the behaviour though, things look correct. And that page is working fine for me. I’ve uploaded a screen recording of me trying it out here. I click a couple of the timestamps, it skips to the appropriate locations, refresh the page, click another timestamp and it skips correctly again.

Can you please provide more details?

Hey there, yeah it’s on Github at github.com/doytch/SkipToTimestamp

Hey, this is an issue anytime a browser doesn’t load the full video but instead just loads a “placeholder” image or item. Some mobile browsers do this to save battery life.

Basically, this means that the video player isn’t available for the plugin to interact with. There’s unfortunately nothing I can do for this. ??

Hey there,
Vimeo currently isn’t supported. The last time I looked at it (a while ago, to be honest), there were significant roadblocks preventing it. However, I’ll go ahead and take another look at it soon to see if Vimeo has made it easier to implement such a feature.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hey there, the latest version should fix this warning. That said, I’d recommend either disabling debug mode if you’ve enabled it. WordPress generally doesn’t show PHP warnings in a release mode.

Well, I knocked it out a bit faster than I expected when I wrote that comment.

I just cut a new release (version 1.2) with that feature. Posts and pages now have a metabox that’ll let you disable any autolinks on that post/page.

Hi chunwing606, can you perhaps give more details? Perhaps the plugin settings and either a link to a sample page or an excerpt of how you’re trying to use the plugin?

Thanks,
Mark

Hey ivyxtine, sorry that things didn’t work out as expected.

The plugin should work for posts on the main page, however there is one thing that may be causing your problem. Pop over the plugin settings in the admin page (Settings > Skip to Timestamp) and make sure the Link only on singular posts/pages checkbox is unchecked. By default it’s checked and will cause the behaviour you’re seeing.

Hope that helps,
Mark
