Hi Enfold Support Team,
I’m having an issue with YouTube videos in the Easy Slider (Video Slide).
My client wants a YouTube video to start at a specific time. In the video URL field I enter for example: [in Private Content]Unfortunately, the start time is not respected – the video always starts at 0 seconds. I have tried both &t=8s and &start=8, and also the plain watch URL with ?start=8, but none of these work in the Easy Slider. According to your video documentation and several support threads, controlling YouTube via URL parameters should basically be possible.
Could you please let me know
– which exact URL syntax should be used in the “Video URL” field to achieve this, or
– if there is a recommended workaround (e.g. shortcode, custom embed code, etc.)?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Emil

November 27, 2025 at 6:39 pm #1491904you can insert to that input field:
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/grA5XmBRC6g?start=50&autoplay=1&mute=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>but to have autoplay – you have to mute it
yes the whole iframe code works. without the mute=1 it will wait until you click the start button (then with sound)
But that’s not really a good solution. Because the video doesn’t start again when you autorotate to that slide again.November 28, 2025 at 6:59 am #1491912Hi,
Thank you for the inquiry.
The video slide doesn’t accept parameters by default, but you can use this filter to adjust the video’s parameters manually.
add_filter( 'avf_youtube_video_data', function( $data ) { if( !empty( $data['videoid'] ) && $data['videoid'] === 'SUZEVjv7tXM' ) { $data['start'] = 8; } return $data; });Best regards,
IsmaelNovember 28, 2025 at 7:18 am #1491915hm i did not try that because in class-avia-slideshow.php this parameter is missing on the array:
$video_data = apply_filters( 'avf_youtube_video_data', array( 'autoplay' => 0, 'videoid' => $video_id, 'hd' => 1, 'rel' => 0, 'wmode' => 'opaque', 'loop' => 0, 'version' => 3, 'autohide' => 1, 'color' => 'white', 'controls' => $controls, 'iv_load_policy'=> 3 ));but: as always, it only works muted.
Thanks Ismael – i will keep that snippet in mind. btw: then you can set an end time too:add_filter( 'avf_youtube_video_data', function( $data ) { if( !empty( $data['videoid'] ) && $data['videoid'] === 'G0k3kHtyoqc' ) { $data['start'] = 15; $data['end'] = 40; } return $data; });However, the video behaves this way only when first called up. Once the slideshow has run through its first cycle, these settings are no longer taken into account. Furthermore, if you have selected autoplay, the video will be interrupted after the slider autorotation duration and the next slide will be called up.

Sorry for the late response. Thank you both for getting back to me!
I just wanted to let you know that it’s working now. Thank you both for your help.
Best regards,
Emil
