Is it possible with the new player to add links to several points in a video or audio to jump to the specific time in the video or audio and that use the same player. I have seen that in podcasts and videos at other platforms.
Topic on Extension talk:TimedMediaHandler/VideoJS Player
You mean something like chapters? (YouTube has this since 2020.)
I mean that I click on a Link and then the video jumps to the defined time in the video. When I click later to another time in the video through a link, then it jumps to that place without a new tab is opened. So both links go to the same player. Chapters in YouTube are something similar and as far as I have seen it in YouTube it is more advanced, as there are also preview picture shown for the chapters.
Youtube displays only one video on the page, whereas on a MediaWiki page you can have multiple videos on the page. Even the same video multiple times if you want. There's no way to reference a video element on the same page.
If you have a file page you can use query parameter ?start=secondsoffset This is documented on Extension:TimedMediaHandler.
There is no such thing as described however so far.
Thank you for the answers. It is a feature that I think is helpful when it somewhen exists in the future. It helps me at other websites a lot, to find a specific topic in a conversation for example.
I'd really like to understand your request better however. What is the exact use case we are trying to fix ? How would this functionality be used by editors ? Because having functionality is pointless if it won't be used. So: 1. Where would you use this ? In articles, or in the file pages themselves? Considering we are neither Youtube nor a podcast platform. 2. And where would these links to navigate be positioned ? Inside articles ? Again, what problem that editors have are we solving ? 3. Where would an editor define these 'points'
There is the Podcast WikiMove and I was interested in jumping to a specific part in this podcast and had that interest in other videos about discussions at WMF-Communityhours too. Through that I hope that people can easier listen to parts they are interested in again. So it makes knowledge more easy accessible. It is also for other kind of longer videos interesting. For example for videos of train rides, to jump to a specific station. I have listened to the Podcast embedded in a page and watched some videos directly at Commons. So it is at both pages types interesting, but it is more important at article or meta pages. I can not navigate exactly with the mouse and so if I read only where a specific part of an audio or video starts I am not able currently to jump after one to another part in the same video or audio player. I thought that it is possible to give a embededed file an id, and that then links to a specific part in a specific player can be referenced through entering the ID and optional a short text what that part is about.
Ok, so it sounds like primarily you want chapters functionality, defined on the File page, but usable whenever the player is opened (inside an article, on the file page, embedded etc).
BTW: Note that you can already pass a start time to any video transclusion in an article. You just need to know the timeoffset where you want it to start.
