    Not looking for a feature so much as some advice as to whether I can tap in with JQuery… I’ve got a use case where I DO NOT want to autoplay as default, but would like to – under some circumstances – force an autoplay. I’ve done this on hand-coded sites by adding a hash or querystring (?autoplay=true), parse it using jQuery and then force-start the video, again with jQuery. Can you give me a pointer/opinion as to how I might do that while using your plugin (or even forking your plugin)?
    Thanks.

    Not sure what exactly you mean by “under some circumstances – force an autoplay”

    This plugin offers a “always autoplay” option on the options screen and you can manually add single shortcodes that (force) autoplay with [provider id=”123456″ autoplay=”yes”] If that is not enough you can sure use jQuery to change the src attribute of the iframes to change the &autoplay=false to true but that code is not the same for all providers. I don’t think you need to fork this plugin, you can change the live html output with jQuery without touching it.
