 * Hi.
 * The plugin works flawlessly but I need to hide a div when the play button is 
   clicked. Is there a callback function so I can do this with js?
 * And when it ends and the thumbnail returns too.
 * thanks!

 * Sure, that functionality is built in to the `video` element. You don’t need my
   plugin to do any of that. The event `play` is triggered whenever a video starts
   playing, and the event `ended` is triggered when the video reaches the end.

 * This is the basic idea. You’d add event listeners to every video on the page.
