Changing YouTube Parameters Not Working

    I wanted to experiment with some different YouTube Parameters. When I clicked on “Save Changes”, most of the parameters were not saved. After a lot of experimentation, I had to use “Reset Options” to get something that worked. But then I was no longer getting the Title of the YouTube video displayed at the top of the video when it is first loaded.

    Also, before I tried to experiment with some of the YouTube parameters, it seemed like the progress bar at the bottom of the video wouldn’t go away after the video started playing.

    I hope you can take a look at these YouTube Parameter issues.

    Hey Rodger,

    thanks for reporting a issue with this plugin. I can confirm this to some extend. I am looking into this. They new way of saving only the options that differ from the defaults is causing this. Actually the options are visibly striped away if they are same as the plugins default you see when you reset. So I think they are being used but not visible to you.

    This may be enough info for me, nevertheless …

    May the power of reading guide you to your goal my friend. Looking forward to welcome you.

    Have a nice day.

    Hi Nico,
    Now that works a lot better! Much appreciated, including your quick response!

    I may not be remembering something quite right from earlier, so refresh my memory. I thought that when the video was initially displayed & before the user starts playing it, that the title of the video was displayed along the top. For some reason, I can’t find any combination of the YouTube parameters that will let that happen. Can you please take a look?

    Actually, I would like the option of displaying the YouTube title, or not displaying it, before the user starts the video.

    https://rad-MarketingROI.com is the website where you can see it.

    I would like to thank you for creating & maintaining this plugin to support the desktop, tablets, & smartphones in responsive designs. Awhile back I was using another plugin and it decided not to work properly, so after doing a lot of looking, I found yours. THANKS!

    Hi Nico,
    Here is another website where the Title of the YouTube video is being displayed initially:

    https://neierinc.com/about

    I was using v4.5.7 on this site and verified that the Title was being displayed. Then I upgraded to v4.5.8 and the Title was still being displayed. I then copied the exact parameters across from the other website mentioned in the previous comment and it is still the same.

    Also, the ‘play button’ is displayed differently between these 2 sites.

    I haven’t poked around in the css to see if I could find a reason for this. Although the WP themes are by the same author, the child themes are built on different bases.

    Hopefully you can shed some light on why the YouTube videos behave a little differently between these two installations that use your exact same version of the plugin.
    — Thanks, Roger
