Youtube Shortcode – Autohide Player controls

Hi There!

I was wondering if you could implement the youtube embed attribute “autohide” with the youtube shortcode that is being added by jetpack.

I changed the url output by adjusting it in your plugin files to achieve the goal. But this will be overwritten in the next update 🙁 Maybe you could add this functionality by default? Its just a tiny code adjustment:

file: wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/shortcodes/youtube.php

Line 295-297 to be changed as follows:

} else {
		$html = "<span class='embed-youtube' style='$alignmentcss display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='$w' height='$h' src='" . esc_url( set_url_scheme( "http://www.youtube.com/embed/$id?version=3&rel=$rel&autohide=1&fs=1$fmt&showsearch=$search&showinfo=$info&iv_load_policy=$iv$start$end$hd&wmode=$wmode$theme$autoplay{$cc}{$cc_lang}" ) ) . "' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen='true'></iframe></span>";
	}

I simply added the autohide=1 attribute to the url that is being generated by the shortcode.

Thanks
Sas
