Prevent video in Poster from autoplaying

Q & A - getting started with Tinderbox
1

Putting a youtube-URL in $PosterURL instantaneously makes a nice Poster. Cool!

however

linked videos in Poster start autoplaying whenever

  • one re-opens a TBX-file that contains – among other Notes – a Poster with a Video-Link in $PosterURL
  • one – after focus viewing another several stories deep (Container-)Note – expands the view back to the level where also the Poster is located

Question

Is there a way to prevent those Videos from autoplaying at all?

Cheers

I might embed the video and its player, with appropriate options, in an HTML page. That’s the most flexible solution.

My guess is that you can do this with a URL query like

https://www.youtube.com/embed/ikTEJCk0Da0?autoplay=0

But I’m not certain this is still supported.
