 * Many of our visitors using the Firefox browser (Mac and PC) are reporting that
   the “Start arrow Symbol” remains in the middle of the screen while videos are
   still playing.
    Can you help us with this or is there a way to disable?

 * Hi Kyle,
    I tested out the version on Github and it works for both Firefox and
   Edge. I think this is the fix. That is awesome Kyle!

 * Hi Kyle,
 * I just wanted to update this issue here. I am still using the development version
   on GitHub that you posted, while it works better (the play button just stays 
   about a couple of seconds too long but better than staying all the way through
   the whole video) I was doing some testing with another site and I think I might
   have found the issue.
 * On the testing site I used your released version and also the development version
   on GitHub. It looks like the plugin has a conflict with Cloudflare CDN and a 
   particular feature called “Rocket Loader”. When disabling “Rocket Loader” the
   plugin both the released version and the development version worked with no issues.
   
   I would really hate disabling the “Rocket Loader” feature on Cloudflare, it does
   help in a big way on loading times on the site.
 * Cloudflare does have a manual setting that can be implemented for this plugin
   but I am not sure how to go about it, specially when the plugin requires future
   updates via new releases in the future, If you have any suggestions let me know.
 * Cloudflare suggestion is to add the following attribute to the HTML script tag
   before the ‘src’ attribute (adding the attribute via JavaScript is not sufficient)
   the following:
 * data-cfasync=“false”
 * It would be great that if in your next release you could incorporate this feature
   under settings, maybe something along the lines of “Cloudflare Compatibility 
   Rocket Loader”.
 * Please also let me know if you get to implement this on the development version
   on GitHub or if you have any advice for me on how to go about using the data-
   cfasync=“false”.
 * Regards,
 * Lechon

 * I knew you were using Rocket Loader, and I use it on my own site as well, but
   while Rocket Loader’s asynchronous JavaScript loading and improved caching might
   be the instigator on your site, [I’ve been able to reproduce this bug without Rocket Loader](https://github.com/videojs/video.js/issues/4193)
   and even if you disable Rocket Loader you might see it happen again if the right
   local caching conditions happen to be met. The problem is not inherent to Rocket
   Loader, but Rocket Loader helps create the specific condition necessary for this
   bug to appear, which is that the native video player loads and begins playing
   before the Video.js script loads and takes over the player. When that happens,
   Video.js doesn’t get the message that the video has started and remains in “not
   started yet” mode. Unfortunately the developers at Video.js have not responded
   to me about this problem. I was holding out hope that their new 6.0 release would
   solve it, but it doesn’t.
 * I don’t see disabling Rocket Loader as a universal fix and [the gymnastics necessary to get a data attribute into a script enqueued the proper way in WordPress](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/110929/adding-additional-attributes-in-script-tag-for-3rd-party-js)
   are not something I’m willing to do for this edge case. If you do want to disable
   it on Cloudflare yourself, you can create a Page Rule to turn off Rocket Loader
   for specific scripts. I’m not sure which ones you should disable, but you could
   start with a wildcard URL like `http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/
   video-embed-thumbnail-generator*` which should disable RocketLoader for all scripts
   related to my plugin and all future releases of the plugin.

 * Hi Kyle,
 * Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me, it makes total sense.
 * I think I am going to wait until you release a version that fixes this issue,
   in the meantime I will be using the version your have on development mode for
   now.
