    Hey Matteo,

    first of all thank you for this great plug-in. It works nice and is really easy to use.

    The only thing I am currently trying to fix is the delay.

    The video starts not before 4-5 seconds have passed. This is really late since until then no background (or a a still frame) is being displayed.

    Looking forward to your response, kind regards,
    Filip

    Hi,
    That’s the time taken by the YouTube API to load and start the video.
    You can set a background-image to the BODY; the video will fade over that.
    To have a fixed full screen image:

    body{
  background-image: url(path/to/your/image.jpg);
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-attachment: fixed;
  background-position: center center;
  background-size: cover;
}

    Bye,
    Matteo

    Hey Matteo,

    thanks for your reply. This is a good temporary workaround.

    What about hosting the video locally on the webspace? I read something about another solution you implemented there. Is it ready?

    Cheers,
    Filip

    The Loading takes just too long.. (3-4 seconds min.)
