Package: clive
Version: 2.2.13-3
Severity: wishlist

I read about:
If you wanted viewers to begin watching the video at the 2 minute and 20
second mark, you would simply add “#t=2m20s” to the end of the link
(m=minutes and s=seconds). The resulting time‐coded URL would look like
this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjHuFbXDvXw#t=02m20s

So perhaps clive could support such notation. Only fetching that part of
the video.

I wonder if there is any "end point" notation too, not just start
notation.

I wonder if this indeed saves any downloading bytes at all, or if a
video must always be played from the start and this is just a hint to
the viewing software to skip ahead after the video is already loaded.
I.e., clive cannot help here at all.
