RT and ‘Search’ + ‘Offset’

Is it possible to combine the RT shortcode variables ‘Search’ and ‘Offset’?

Ideally I’d like to be able to do something like ‘[rotatingtweets search=”from:handle filter:media” tweet_count=’2′ offset=’1′ no_rotate=’1’]’ to return the second most recent tweet with media.

Is this possible? I’ve been unable to get this to work – it seems to honour the ‘tweet_count’ shortcode, but ‘offset’ is ignored?

Strictly, it is honouring the offset, but then it loops back to the beginning.

If you only want the 2nd one, it would be:
‘[rotatingtweets search=”from:handle filter:media” tweet_count=’1′ offset=’1′ no_rotate=’1’]′

You might also have an inverted comma problem – mixing " and '.

Try:
[rotatingtweets search="from:handle filter:media" tweet_count="2" offset="1" no_rotate="1"]
or
[rotatingtweets search="from:handle filter:media" tweet_count=2 offset=1 no_rotate=1]

Hmm,… still trying, but I’m not seeing this work.

[rotatingtweets search="from:handle filter:media" tweet_count=1 offset=1 no_rotate=1]
And
[rotatingtweets search="from:handle filter:media" tweet_count=1 offset=0 no_rotate=1]
…Are both returning the same tweet for me – the most recent tweet with media

A little more on this, but I’m struggling to spot a predictable pattern. For example, for the current BBCNews feed, the offset isn’t being applied when using;

[rotatingtweets search="from:bbcnews filter:media" tweet_count=1 offset=0 include_rts=0 exclude_replies=1 official_format=1 show_media=1 links_in_new_window=1 no_rotate=1 tweet_length=100]
.vs.
[rotatingtweets search="from:bbcnews filter:media" tweet_count=1 offset=1 include_rts=0 exclude_replies=1 official_format=1 show_media=1 links_in_new_window=1 no_rotate=1 tweet_length=100]

I seem to get a little more success when ‘include_rts=1’, but I’m really not sure what is happening here.

Appreciate any help/insight.
