This template filter, "jumptime" will find any timecodes in a chunk of text and convert them to links that can be used to jump a video player to that point. E.g., If there is the string "3:05", it will be converted into a link that can be used to jump to that point. This is similar to what youtube does.
For information on how to implement, see Django's custom template tag information.
You'd use this with some javascript like this:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('a.jumpToTime').bind('click',function(){
player.sendEvent('PLAY');
player.sendEvent('SEEK', jQuery(this).attr('value'));
});
});
