Complete reference for all supported hash properties to control media playback behavior in links and embeds

You can control media playback behavior by adding properties to the hash fragment of media links. These work like URL query parameters and can be chained together using &.

For example: [[My Video.mp4#t=10,20&loop&mute&noctrl]]

Temporal Fragment (`t=`)

Control when and how long media plays using the t= property. There are two modes: timestamp (single time) and clip (time range).

For the full grammar — including W3C compatibility notes, the npt: prefix, fractional seconds, and validation rules — see the Timestamp Format reference.

Timestamp

A single time value seeks to that point when the media loads, then plays normally to the end.

Format	Description	Example
`t=10`	Start at 10 seconds	`#t=10`
`t=1:30`	Start at 1 minute 30 seconds	`#t=1:30`
`t=1:02:30`	Start at 1 hour 2 minutes 30 seconds	`#t=1:02:30`

Clip

Two time values separated by a comma define a clip range. Playback is locked within this range.

Format	Description	Example
`t=10,20`	Play from 10s to 20s	`#t=10,20`
`t=,30`	Play from beginning to 30 seconds	`#t=,30`
`t=10,e`	Play from 10 seconds to end of media	`#t=10,e`

Time Format

Seconds: Any positive number with optional decimal places (10.5)
MM:SS: Minutes and seconds (02:30)
HH:MM:SS: Hours, minutes, and seconds (1:02:30)
Open end: Use e or omit the end time (start,) to play to the end of the media

Playback Control Properties

Property	Description	Example
`autoplay`	Start playing automatically	`#autoplay`
`no_autoplay`	Prevent autoplay (override default)	`#no_autoplay`
`loop`	Loop the media or segment	`#loop`
`no_loop`	Disable looping (override default)	`#no_loop`
`mute`	Start in muted state	`#mute`
`no_mute`	Start unmuted (override default)	`#no_mute`

Interface Control Properties

Property	Description	Example
`controls`	Force show player controls	`#controls`
`no_controls`	Force hide player controls	`#no_controls`
`noctrl`	Alias for `no_controls`	`#noctrl`
`keep_pitch`	Preserve audio pitch when changing speed	`#keep_pitch`
`no_pitch`	Disable pitch preservation (override default)	`#no_pitch`
`load=`	Embed loading strategy	`play` or `eager`

Audio/Video Properties

Property	Description	Values	Example
`vol=`	Set volume level	0-100	`#vol=80`
`speed=`	Set playback rate	Positive number	`#speed=1.5`
`gain=`	Audio gain adjustment	Number	`#gain=2.0`
`as=`	Force media type	`audio` or `video`	`#as=audio`
`load=`	Embed loading strategy	`play` or `eager`	`#load=eager`

Load Strategy Values

The load= property controls when embedded media begins loading:

play: Load media only when playback starts (lazy loading)
eager: Load media immediately when the embed appears

Display Properties

Property	Description	Values	Example
`ratio=`	Aspect ratio	Format varies	`#ratio=16:9`
`flip=`	Flip transformation	Flip options	`#flip=horizontal`
`title=`	Custom title	Text string	`#title=My%20Video`
`crossorigin=`	Cross-origin policy	CORS values	`#crossorigin=anonymous`
