Few days ago YouTube announced they are now allowing extra parameter in the video URLs which allows users to directly link to a specific point in the video. If you add '#t=0m50s' string at the end of the url, the video will start playback 50 seconds from the start.

I've been asked if Smart Youtube plugin for WordPress supports this and I am glad to announce it does. Youtube embed video code uses different syntax to start a video at desired time by using '&start=' parameter accepting value in seconds. For example this code in your post :

using Smart Youtube starts the video at 50 second mark:
