Currently, when processing YouTube links, if a timestamp is present in the URL, it is ignored. This behavior can be inconvenient for users who wish to share specific points within a video.
To address this issue, I propose updating our bot to utilize timestamps from YouTube links, ensuring that the video playback starts from the specified time if present.
Features:
Timestamp Parsing: Implement a mechanism to parse timestamps from YouTube links when provided by users.
Playback Position: Modify the bot's playback functionality to start the video from the specified timestamp if present.
Validation and Error Handling: Include validation checks to ensure that the provided timestamps are valid and handle any errors gracefully.
Rationale:
By incorporating timestamps from YouTube links, our bot can offer a more user-friendly experience, allowing users to share and playback videos from specific points of interest. This feature will enhance the versatility and usefulness of our bot for users who frequently share YouTube content.
Additional Information:
Insights on how best to handle timestamp parsing, playback adjustments, and any potential edge cases or considerations would be appreciated for implementing this feature effectively.
