So far my research has led to nowhere. Given the mass and might of youtube, the state of the ability to create URLs is unbelievably messed up. No consistency, no clear space to find the current ability, variant changes everywhere and 90% of the examples on published articles do not work.

It simply appears that there is an internal setting that sets some videos as to be forced to be wholly viewed or not appear at all. I like to think that my conclusion is based on my lack of understanding.

The whole start/end/playlist accessibility is a hopeless mess, much like trying to navigate your google/youtube accounts.
