I put [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KSxlpMCt2SY&amp Start=270] into my post, however the video still starts from the beginning.

You use the youtube shortcode http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#embedding-with-a-shortcode

To make a Youtube video start from a specific point, you write the shortcode this way:
[youtube=URL HERE&start=NUMBER HERE]

(Number = how many seconds from beginning of video.)

You approach was good but instead of using m and s you just calculate like this 1 min = 60 so if you want to start at min 4 and 39 sec that is 4x60=240 plus the 39 seconds it adds up to the total of 279 and your link should be like

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working. I have put the code:

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2A-opxByWw&hl=en_US&start=279"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2A-opxByWw&hl=en_US&start=279" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

into my html tab, but nothing shows up.

If I try to do the simple version:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2A-opxByWw#t=4m39s

the video shows up, but it still plays from the beginning.

Any further help would be great appreciated!

I'm able to embed the entire video, however, haven't been able to figure out how to get it to start from a specific time.

I thought that adding the code "t=4m39s" would get it to start at the 4min 39 second mark, but it doesn't.

Can anyone help me?
