 * Dear support team,
 * is there any chance of getting the timecode when using aself hosted iframe as
   video source?
 * So far I can see that it’s working with e.g. vimeo and “#XmYs” is added to the
   URL of the video but nothing for iframe.
 * Currently I’m using as video source syntax like [https://mydomain/play.php?v=12345](https://mydomain/play.php?v=12345)
   with individual video ids for my videos.
 * Is there a variable or shortcode I could use or anything I could read out of 
   the iframe in order to get the value of the timecode?
 * I have full control of the video-source (also PHP or Javascript coding skills)
   😉
 * Thank you in advance for your time and help!
 * JB

 * Hi JB,
 * I think we could make a fairly simply change that adds the time code onto the
   IFRAME source URL using a placeholder, maybe something like
 * [https://mydomain/play.php?v=](https://mydomain/play.php?v=){timeOffsetInSeconds}
 * Would that work for you?

 * Yes, this would be really a great and flexible solution.
 * Thank you for your efforts!
