Start Time on TED Videos

http://jsfiddle.net/N8dYL/

The goal I'm trying to learn is that when you press play, TED Talk starts playing, for example, 02:22

I tried several things that I know from JWplayer, for example video.mp4?time=02:22 , but I could not get it to work on this player.

Does anyone have any inspiration for me?

The only thing I can think of is to download mp4 and use JWplayer, as I did.

Aahhh! I just noticed that when I pause TED Talk, the URL above changes with this number! So it’s much simpler than what I posted below - just pause the conversation wherever you want and copy the URL!

It looks like when you use certain plugins / extensions for social networks (I use MeetEdgar in Chrome), you can click to share with the bookmark button when you pause the TED video, and this will give a unique time number. I just did this: http://www.ted.com/talks/julian_treasure_how_to_speak_so_that_people_want_to_listen#t-28636

There is no clear picture, though, since # t-xxxxx for 10 seconds was 426018, 20 seconds were 8651, 30 seconds 18670, and one above 40 seconds.

I assume that the player creates a random number for this particular point. It is likely that people do not share only bits, but all this.

I just assume that some of the plugins / extensions of Twitter, Facebook or G + can do the same. Give him a chance!
