Passing in a t=24s URL fragment is not part of any supported API.
It's a convention used on the YouTube watch page. The supported way of
specifying a start time value as part of the <iframe> embed URL is
using the "start" URL query parameter:
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/player_parameters.html#start
That being said, I believe a colleague of mine is currently looking
into some reports that the start URL query parameter isn't working as
expected on iOS, so while that's the recommended syntax, I can't
guarantee it's going to work right now. It should as soon as the issue
is cleared up, though.
