Navigate to specific timestamps in video urls

I would like to request a feature for the Nextcloud video player that would allow users to navigate directly to a specific time in a video through the URL. This feature would be similar to the functionality available on platforms like YouTube, where appending a parameter (e.g., ?t=1m20s) to the video URL starts the video at the specified timestamp.

This feature would be incredibly useful for sharing specific parts of long videos with other users, allowing them to jump straight to the relevant section without manually seeking. It can enhance the user experience in educational contexts, team collaborations, and personal media sharing by providing direct access to key moments in video content.

A possible implementation could involve modifying the Nextcloud video player to recognize URL parameters that specify the desired start time (e.g., ?start=90 for starting the video at 1 minute and 30 seconds). The video player would then parse this parameter and seek to the corresponding time when the video loads.

• Improved Usability: Makes it easier for users to share and view the most relevant parts of videos.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Facilitates more efficient video-based communication and collaboration among Nextcloud users.
• Increased Engagement: Encourages users to share video content, knowing that recipients can be directed to the most pertinent sections.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Nextcloud video player and its URL-handling logic, then determine the supported timestamp parameter and seek behavior; done means a video URL reliably opens at the requested time, including the sharing use case described.
