In this guide you will find:
To use this feature you need to have FV player Pro installed. Then you can add custom time in two ways:
User interface
To enable the feature navigate in WordPress Dashboard of your site Settings > FV Player Pro > Setup tab > Pro Features and tick the Custom start/end time checkbox. Click Save All Changes.
Activating the custom start/end time feature
Now you can set a custom time in FV Player shortcode editor – you can find it under the Video tab > Start/End. The time format to be used is “hh:mm:ss” – you can also find it by hovering the mouse pointer over the question mark icon (?).
Setting the custom Start/End in the shortcode editor
When you are creating a playlist, you can add a custom start/end time for each video individually. Just open the playlist item you want and edit the option the same way as in a single video.
Editing the start/end time in a playlist item
Shortcode
Just add the startend=”” attribute into your shortcode. The value of this attribute has to be in this format “hh:mm:ss-hh:mm:ss”. The first half is for start time, the second is end time. Use a colon ‘:’ for separating seconds, minutes and hours, otherwise it might not work properly. You don’t need to use the full format, but it’s clearer that way. If you are adding a playlist, the time ranges will be separated by a semicolon “;” in the shortcode.
Example
[fvplayer src="your-video" playlist="your-video2;your-video3" startend="58:45-1:00:01;12:15-30:24;2:15-10:54"]
This example code contains three videos in a playlist. The first video in the example would begin to play at 58 minutes 45 seconds and end at 1 hour 1 second. The second one would start at 12 minutes 15 seconds and end at 30 minutes 24 seconds. The third one would start at 2 minutes 15 seconds and end at 10 minutes 54 seconds.
Parsing from YouTube and Vimeo
You can add videos from YouTube and Vimeo with a pre-set custom start time. The process of embedding is similar for both video services. Just open a video you want to share, set the start time you want and paste the generated link to the shortcode editor, same way as sharing a video in general. You might notice that the start time you’ve set is automatically filled into the Start/End field.

YouTube
To set the custom start time on YouTube, just click Share under the video, tick the Start at: box and write the time you want. The link above will change and you can copy it afterwards.

Vimeo
Setting custom time on Vimeo shares the same principle. Open a video you want to share and click the Share button. A pop-up will appear with the link, social media buttons, a space for entering an email and an iframe embed code. Click anywhere inside link and a new option will appear under it – Start video at. Check the box and set the time you want. The generated link will update immediately and you can copy&paste it to FV Player shortcode editor.
