   Not sure how you want to handle this, for know I have hardcoded it in the plugin.

   You tube videos require you to pass "wmode=transparent" at the end of your iframe src attribute to prevent the video from appearing on top of other Items (like menus on the page).

   I have modified the plugin code to read:
   

   <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/'.$video_id
             .'?rel='.$rel_param.'&wmode=transparent" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

   It may be more appropriate if you update the plugin to be able to pass the wmode in as an param in the shortcode:
   

   [responsive_youtube NbCr0UyoFJA norel wmodetrans]

   Thanks for the simple straightforward implementation.

   Hello!

   Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I didn't even know wmode was a supported parameter for youtube! I did some googling to figure out exactly what was happening, and it looks like it somehow affects the z-index of the iframe, which is very odd. The flash wmode parameter doesn't do that at all!

   Anyway, I just finished rolling out a new version of the plugin that allows you to set a mode option globally as well as per-video with a short tag parameter. Please let me know if there's anything else that crops up!

   Kind Regards,
   Bill
