Allow parameters on YouTube video lightbox shortcode

    I love Shortcodes Ultimate and embedding YouTube videos with the lightbox shortcode is ALMOST perfect (quick to load, responsive) except for one significant issue.

    If I embed a video using the embed code generated by Youtube, it allows me to set the related videos parameter to false to stop Youtube from showing the “suggested videos” at the end of a video playback. Example:
    <iframe width=”310″ height=”315″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/mFwNBN_iKpU?rel=0″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Unfortunately, this parameter doesn’t work with the [lightbox] shortcode which means a bunch of random video thumbnails appear when the first video ends.

    Is there (or can there be) a way to include the rel=0 parameter when using the lightbox (and youtube) shortcodes?

    Another video lightbox plugin (WP Video Lightbox) uses this code to allow the rel=0 parameter so it seems to be possible:
    [video_lightbox_youtube video_id=”mFwNBN_iKpU&rel=0″ width=”640″ height=”480″ anchor=”See video”]

    That lightbox isn’t as robust as SU and I don’t want to have more plugins than I need so I’m really hoping SU can be updated to include this feature. I noticed a forum post about 3 weeks ago saying that parameters would be added to the [youtube] shortcode with the next release due out a few days after that post but it doesn’t seem to be available yet.

    Thanks!

  • seems we have the same problem, have you found a solution? now is doing right with the first parameter but if you append a second one like ?rel=0&autoplay=1 it will run just the first one ..

    @cdmonkey: If you require assistance then, as per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic.

    This topic references an old version of WordPress.

    I’m curious that you replied quickly to CdMonkey about the best way to get assistance but there was never any reply or assistance with this original post. Also, your comment that this references an old version of WP seems to imply that this question will just be ignored going further.

    Have parameters been added to the SU shortcode? If not, do you have an ETA when they will be added (as per an earlier forum post)?

    Thank you

    I see, sorry for the confusion. It’s very frustrating to get no reply from the developer but I apologize for criticizing you about it.
