Ask HN: How to Bookmark Videos on YouTube?
I often watch long videos like podcasts or interviews on YouTube. Since I have turned off search history, YT usually restarts video from beginning. Is there any otherway to bookmark a particular timestamp?

- rishikeshs 4y agoBut how does it solve the issue of timestamps
- pwg 4y agoAlternately, download the podcasts or interviews (yt-dlp: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) and then watch them with whatever local player you have that allows you to save a partial watch location and return to that point later.

- Leftium 4y agoIt's called "Copy video URL at current time." I didn't know that was there. Thanks!
- rishikeshs 4y agoWow this works
- nevernothing 4y agoclick on share and checkbox start at, that gives you a url with timestamp in it.
- Leftium 4y agoFor podcasts/interviews, I like to download/extract the audio in m4a format. (yt-download is great for this.) If you simply rename the file extension as an m4b file, Apple (iPhone) treats the file as an audio book. This gives a few immediate benefits: - Your timestamp in the file is automatically bookmarked. If you stop in the middle of the file, the next time you open the file it starts at the same point. - You can jump forward/back 15/30 seconds. - You can control the playback speed: 2X, 1.5X, 0.5X, etc.
