Please add acccessibility

This plugin solves a crucial problem I think YouTube (aka Google) should be solving instead of us developers because it’s a problem they’re creating.

Anyway, this plugin needs some love when it comes to accessibility. The play button should actually be a button element, not a div. A div means nothing to screen readers and can’t be accessed via keyboard.

Please consider something like this instead: <button class="yt-button" aria-label="Play"></button>. Besides, svgs are really cheap compared to pngs.

Lifted from a YouTube player:

<button class="ytp-large-play-button ytp-button" aria-label="Play"><svg height="100%" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 68 48" width="100%"><path class="ytp-large-play-button-bg" d="M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z" fill="#212121" fill-opacity="0.8"></path><path d="M 45,24 27,14 27,34" fill="#fff"></path></svg></button>
