Youtube video embed with rel and showinfo tags

If a video is put into the “Book Trailer” section of the “Book Samples” from Youtube, it doesn’t appear to honor the rel=0 or showinfo=0 tags that Youtube allows on video embeds. So a normal youtube link might be:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKnlO5Goy3M

This works fine, but if I want to remove the info on the video (video title, watch later, share controls at the top right, etc…) I need to change the link by adding the showinfo=0 parameter. And if I want to NOT show the viewer random other videos from around youtube when the video ends, rather have it go back to my thumbnail (this is a HUGE deal here), I need to add the rel=0 parameter. So the link should look like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKnlO5Goy3M&rel=0&showinfo=0

More accurately, youtube asks as an embed that we use the embed format like:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/JKnlO5Goy3M?rel=0&showinfo=0
…which allows full width/screen playback, no info, and no related videos.

But none of these tags seem to work through the plugin. If using the first one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKnlO5Goy3M&rel=0&showinfo=0
we see the video still, but it isn’t passing/honoring the rel and showinfo tags. And if we use the second one:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/JKnlO5Goy3M?rel=0&showinfo=0
It fails completely, changing the embedded video to a string of text that reads:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=JKnlO5Goy3M%3Frel%3D0%26showinfo%3D0

So is there a way to make this work to have rel=0 and showinfo=0 options on videos from youtube? Thanks.
