YouTube add-on has been updated today, and now it includes extended codes which allow to embed a video with the specified timestamp.

You can get the link for the BB code, pressing the Share button under YouTube video, then Copy the suggested link; alternatively, you can check the «Start at» box if you'd like the video to start playing at certain time.

YouTube — Share link method

When on desktop, you can click the mouse right button and then «Copy video URL» or «Copy video URL at current time».

YouTube — Right-button mouse click menu

The link from URL bar also could be copied.

YouTube — URL bar

The links you get that way, should be pasted in the field which appears after clicking the «YouTube» button appearing above miniBB message form, and then transformed into a BB code in the message body.
Clicking the Embed button, you can also copy the straight code to paste (this method will provide the correct video size instead of common default), and here you can also check the «Start at» box.

YouTube — Embed method

This code should be pasted straight into our message, skipping the «YouTube» button.
The add-on now consists of the two parts for the 'enCodeBB' function, resp. bb_codes.encode_1.txt and bb_codes.encode_2.txt. They should be pasted in the different sections of this function, which are described in readme.txt.

MiniBB Compiler has been also updated to include the recent version of this add-on.

I appreciate the help of tom322 in testing the new version, and the initiation of idea to include timestamps in this add-on.

Enjoy the new version, and report anything about it in the related thread.

Sure, all newer versions of the miniBB itself, or add-ons are available for checking on miniBB demo, except the cases when I specially mention they are in progress.

A little update I've made today to this add-on — now it also should support YouTube links provided on the desktop version of a Live section, i.e. Live streams also could be possible to embed in miniBB posts.

There is quite a tiny update in the bb_codes.encode_2.txt part, actually the first string of code from the //copied from address block.
