Shortcode param for autoplay?

I had to alter the source of the plugin to add this for my clients – it’s a simple change, hopefully this will be added so I don’t have to keep track of plugin updates.

Were you unable to add it as an add-on plug-in to the BC Video Connect plug-in?

I didn’t bother making it a plugin, it’s like two lines – I just diff when a new version comes out and re-add it.

@bcolflesh – Let us know what changes you are making and we will look into adding incorporating it.

Thanks! We’ll take a look at incorporating it.

Is there no way to use a shortcode attribute to get the videos to autoplay with this plugin? Editing the plugin file and updating that after each plugin update is bad practice, surely the plugin maker has a feature to get autoplay to work?

We have a dev project underway to add more configurability to the player embed including enabling/disabling autoplay. We hope to have it complete in the July/August timeframe.
