 * Hi,
    I’m the developer of Smart Slider 3. Our plugin allows to place YouTube 
   players into slides and Smart Slider controls the YouTube player, for example:
   stops the video on slide change etc…
 * Smart Slider places the YouTube with the iframe API. The problem is that your
   plugin takes over the control of the YouTube players inside Smart Slider and 
   we are not able to control it anymore.
    The problem is that the following matches
   every YouTube iframes: `ytprefs.js`: `evselector: 'iframe.__youtube_prefs__[src],
   iframe[src*="youtube.com/embed/"], iframe[src*="youtube-nocookie.com/embed/"]',`
 * It would be great if you could create an exclude, so Smart Slider would be able
   to function properly.
 * Example:
    `evselector: 'iframe.__youtube_prefs__[src], iframe[src*="youtube.com/
   embed/"]:not([data-external="1"]), iframe[src*="youtube-nocookie.com/embed/"]:
   not([data-external="1"])',`
 * Then we would add `data-external="1"` to our frames and everything should work
   as expected. The naming is up to your as it is not implemented yet in Smart Slider.

 * Hi,
 * There’s already an option that tells our plugin to only apply the API to the 
   YouTube videos that have explicitly been created by our plugin (which would exclude
   your slider’s embeds). It’s called “Theme Video Problems” — see the Compatibility
   section of the plugin.

 * Hi [@embedplus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/embedplus/),
    thanks, we 
   know about that option and usually we suggest that for our users. But wouldn’t
   be better to think forward and spare the searching time for our users? You just
   need to extend your selector with a blacklist attribute, we add that attribute
   to our YouTube embeds and everyone happy without noticing the problem. Please
   consider my suggestion, thank you!
 * We had the very same situation with lazy loading plugins and this was the final
   solution. Lazy loading plugins added an attribute which allowed exclusion for
   images.
