Linking to timecodes

You can annotate links so that they directly seek/jump to a specific timecode in a video when opened. This can be used both in a link pointing to a Hyper 8 site (e.g. linking to a video from a blog) or a link on the video site itself (e.g. a link in the video description pointing to a specific section of the video).

Examples

Let's assume you just released a video on your Hyper 8 site at https://example.com/the-video/ and want to point your followers to the fancy choreography happening 20 seconds into the video. The following link will take people to the video page, automatically setting the player to timecode 0:20:

https://example.com/the-video/#time=20s

Now this was about taking people to a specific timecode from an external page or platform, but the same also works directly from within a video page. Assuming you are publishing a vlog, just released a new vlog entry at https://example.com/new-vlog-entry/ and want to link to various parts of your video, this is what you could put into your description field for the episode:

In today's vlog entry I show off my favorite memes!

[What is a meme](#time=1m20s)
[History of memes](#time=14m)
[The Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky bridge theory meme](#time=52m12s)
[The new Bielefeld conspiracy meme](#time=1h26m3s)
[1080 Stunt Dog meme](#time=2h7m)

Details on the syntax used

You can abbreviate the time parameter name (t as in time):

Timecodes are flexible, but keep the order hours -> minutes -> seconds -> milliseconds:
