TimeJump adds deep-linking to HTML5 audio and video podcasts. TimeJump works behind-the-scenes to create a standardized API for seeking, based off the YouTube deep-linking syntax.
Include the script at the bottom on your episode pages. It will auto-detect the t (time) parameter in your URL and attempt to fast-forward listeners to that timestamp. It usually works.
Supported URL formats include:
Media Fragments w/ hash:
http://mypodca.st/first-episode/#t=1:23:45
http://mypodca.st/first-episode/#t=23:45
http://mypodca.st/first-episode/#t=234
Media Fragments w/ query:
http://mypodca.st/first-episode/?t=1:23:45
http://mypodca.st/first-episode/?t=23:45
http://mypodca.st/first-episode/?t=234
Quirks Mode (YouTube-style) w/ hash or query:
http://mypodca.st/first-episode/?t=1h23m45s
http://mypodca.st/first-episode/#t=1m23s
- Hash: Player will update when the browser's
location.hashchanges. This means that your episode page can link to timeframes within the page without requiring a page reload. - Query: Requires page reload.
In order to support the Media Fragments standard (and be inter-operable with apps like Instacast), the "Media Fragments w/ hash" format is now recommended.
Known to work with the following native HTML5 audio/video wrappers:
- Temporal clipping (Ending times).
