Hey team,

In my app, I have a gallery containing data sourced from an excel file.

One column contains a unique YouTube URL including a timestamp, field name "VideoTimestamp".

In my Video control, I have the set the Media property to "Gallery1.Selected.VideoTimestamp". I also have a text input with its Text property set to "Gallery1.Selected.VideoTimestamp".

When I click on the gallery item, the text input is changing (to reflect the correct URL) however the embedded YouTube video is not changing to the correct timestamps (its sitting at a "last played" spot in the video).

I want the video to go to the timestamp as determined from the gallery.

All video settings are set to default settings.

Has anyone got any tips?

Re: YouTube timestamps

Found it - I have used a variable in the Video.StartTime and then by updating this variable got the result I needed.
Couldn't found this way anywhere. Maybe it was obvious but not for me 🙂

Hi @v-bofeng-msft
How did you manage to set the StartTime of the video?
I cannot do this. When I create a button and trying to set "OnSelect" referring to the Video control, I can only set Start but not StartTime property.

Re: YouTube timestamps

Thanks heaps Bof, worked a treat.

I had the timestamp in the Video URL - which was totally unnecessary. All I needed to do was point the Start property at the time.

Legend!

Re: YouTube timestamps

Hi @DessiBroughton :
Could you tell me what VideoTimestamp's data type is?Text or number?
I made a test but did not encounted the problem you mentioned.
1\set the gallery(Gallery2)'s item's property to :

Table({VideoTimestamp:200},{VideoTimestamp:300},{VideoTimestamp:400},{VideoTimestamp:500})

2\set the video control's StartTime property to:

Gallery2.Selected.VideoTimestamp

I suggest you pay attention to a few aspects:
The parameter of the StartTime attribute should be a number.
The parameter of the StartTime attribute represents that the video starts playing from the x second.
Best Regards,
Bof
