Hi I have a question about using youtube video's in easyblog. I'm setting up some new demo's and have a lot of you tube video's I'd like to show in various articles. Does the easyblog youtube option pre-load the video embed the video into the site so add to the page load?
Also is it possible to automatically start the video on the page loading?

I'm settign this up just now so there isn't a page example to see
Hi John,

In youtube block there is no option for autostart. However, you can use html block as example:


<iframe width="300" height="169" src="//http://www.youtube.com/embed/_jzMDsYHktI?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Thanks, is this soemthing I can add somehow to the youtube block so it does it automatically rather than me having to continually edit HTML code & figure out frame sizes etc?
