 * Hi,
    when I click a video in the gallery and press play, everything’s fine. But
   when I click the X in the top right corner or press escape, the player will disappear
   but the sound will keep playing in the background until I refresh the page. Any
   ideas?

 * Sry for spamming 😀
 * I found a solution from those guys
 * [http://webdevstudios.com/2013/02/13/how-to-stop-a-youtube-video-from-playing-when-closing-a-lightbox-modal/](http://webdevstudios.com/2013/02/13/how-to-stop-a-youtube-video-from-playing-when-closing-a-lightbox-modal/)
 * So the code I needed looks like this:
 *     ```
       jQuery(document).bind('dialogclose', function() {
       var vid = jQuery('.svg-video-object iframe[src*="youtube"]');
       if ( vid.length > 0 ){
       var src = vid.attr('src');
       vid.attr('src', '');
       vid.attr('src', src);
       }
       });
       ```
   
 * Maybe you wanna patch it?
 * Anyways, resolved for me.
 * Wrote a Review now, 5 stars!

 * Ok this code had some problems, I found another (and simpler) solution:
 *     ```
       .dialog({
               'dialogClass'   : 'wp-dialog',
               'modal'         : true,
               'autoOpen'      : false,
               'closeOnEscape' : true,
               'title'         : link.attr('title'),
               'width'         : 580,
               'height'        : 440,
               'buttons'       : { },
               // FIX
               close: function() {
                   var inrHTML = $(this).html();
                   $(this).empty().html(inrHTML);
               }
               // #FIX
             });
       ```
