 * I have successfully installed the vimeo plugin and am embedding videos being 
   hosted there and showing them through Shadowbox. When I click the link and the
   video appears in Shadowbox, I would like it to begin playing right away without
   the visitor having to click Play. Is this possible?
 * Many thanks…
