[BUG] YouTube Timestamp Anchor URL

[sovalyeler]

First of all I want to thank you for this script.
My problem is that the script causes Youtube to ignore timestamp anchor links.
e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLnUJzueBOQ#t=38s
(Edge 120.0.2210.91)

Fixed now.

By the way, #t=xxx is the old way for the timestamp. The current way is &t=xxx
You can really feel the difference that, #t=38s will take some time to play at the 38s after the video is being played from the start. (click the link and open in a new tab / window)
&t=38s is the official and current way to directly load from 38s.

Remarks

&t=1m32s and &t=92 are equivalent.

Yes I actually know the official way. However, I've been using another user script called yt-url-at-time which turns current time into clickable link that adds timestamp as an anchor link to URL.(Easier to bookmark longer videos.) Thank you for the fix.

@sovalyeler I have updated that script and hope the author will update it.

Just recently realized that Youtube ignores precise timestamp(Alt+Click) w/ "&t=". Ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wg-RQpcpUU&t=115.735294
Upon refreshing the page, timestamp gets removed. Can you update the script please?

I have checked that this is not caused by my script.
YouTube itself removes it.
From my understanding, &t=115.735294 is not a recognized format used in YouTube.
it should be an integer or with s (&t=115 or &t=115s)

Note: YouTube engine removes all unrecognized query string in the link automatically. I believe this can be turned off by the experimental flag setting though.

You should ask the author of that script to update.

Remarks

Oh, you mean this script

OK. updated now.

Thank you again for the update. And yes, w/ the official/new way Youtube does remove precise timestamp. Just for reference, it seems that Youtube does recognize old(non-official) "precise" timestamp format.
e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AULTavdeGc#t=6m42s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AULTavdeGc#t=402.359408
These timestamps load different frames.
