# Shortcode issue with ‘start’

 * The example code it admin-shortcode.php says to use hh:mm:ss style, but a singular
   integer seconds time index seems to work instead. A colon separated value does
   not work in the shortcode. Integer / seconds is preferable as that is how the
   YouTube share button returns. Using colons requires extra code translation from
   a ACF number field. So really the shortcode acts as it should, but the documentation
   in admin-shortcode.php seems incorrect. Just a heads up as I wrote some translation
   code to colon format only for it not to work / be a waste of time to debug.
