Describe the bug
The ?t=<time> URL parameter doesn't work on the YouTube embedded player.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a video in an invidious instance that properly supports passing the referrer to the YouTube embedded player (the only one I know of that does this is https://invidious.tiekoetter.com)
- Click on a video that supports embedding (here's an example video that I know does)
- Hope the description page actually loads and you don't get an error
- Play the video and click somewhere in the middle
- Click the
(Embed) next to the Watch on YouTube
- Notice how the embedded player still starts over from the beginning
Additional context
I have no idea if this is simply a case of if the URL parameter needs to be different or if this function is straight-up not even supported by YouTube's official embedded player.
I did find in my browser history that, in mid-2021, I accessed a video on youtube.com/embed/ with the URL parameter ?start=<time> but, because one cannot just manually type a youtube.com/embed/ address anymore, I have no way of being able to test if perhaps ?start=<time> is what is instead used by the official YouTube embedded player.
