How To Embed Google Video With Specific Start Point & AutoPlay
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkWednesday, August 2, 2006
If you want to share a specific part of a video on your blog or website, these directions should be helpful.
1. Get the embed code (Click on the ‘Embed - Blog - Post to MySpace’ button, and then click the ‘Embed HTML’ link):
2. Copy the code, and insert the following
FlashVars=”initialTime=number”
Where “number” is the time in seconds. For now, you can only specify seconds for embedded videos.
An example of embed code using this time parameter is:
<embed FlashVars="initialTime=2171" style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="https://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-4935715412555856092">
</embed>
You can also combine this with autoplay as well:
<embed FlashVars="autoPlay=true&initialTime=2171" style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="https://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-4935715412555856092">
</embed>
via Google

this is really cool. Often i needed to put specific portion of the clip, and all i had to do was ask the users to seek to the point of interest. This variables definitely gives better usability experience to the user! |

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, Wordpress.com does not allow the use of the embed tag, GoogleVideos have to be embedded with a specific [googlevideo=URL] tag, where URL is the address displayed in the ’src’ attribute of the embed tag, so WordPress.com users cannot use the FlashVars attribute. However, I found out that it also works if you just add the initialTime at the end of the URL, so on WordPress.com, with the above example, you would want to type: [googlevideo=https://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-4935715412555856092&initialTime=2171] |
