Autoplay and Play/Pause Button

[boilerpa]

I have removed the autoplay attribute because I don't want the video to autoplay. I also want to show the play/pause button. However, it still shows the pause button by default, therefore, I have to push the button twice to make it play the first time. Is there a way to initially set the video to pause and display the play/pause control correctly?

You'd have to edit the plugin. Try changing line 55 to this (untested).

var $pauseplay = $('<button class="jquery-background-video-pauseplay play"><span>Play</span></button>');
