How to disable related videos at the end of embedded YouTube video in Simple:Press

Is there a way to configure Simple:Press such that related videos are disabled?  These are the thumbnails that appear at the end of a YouTube video.  Not only can they lead a viewer away from your site, they can be unrelated and downright inappropriate.

YouTube offers a setting to show or not show these related video links.  This would be done normally by appending ?rel=0 or &rel=0 to the link.  I’ve tried to add the &rel=0 but that resulted in the text “rel=0” being appended to the right of the embedded video, and related videos were still displayed.

Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

Brad

Sorry, but this is going to come down to a youtube or WordPress thing… the oembed videos is between those two functions… might be worth searching the WP forums and see if anyone else has asked the question if WP supports the ignoring with its oembeds… if you entered a valid link, sounds like WP is ignoring them…

quick google of this and seems quite common… someone even wrote a plugin to correct this in wp… you might give that a try…

Thank you!  I was spinning my wheels on this one.

That plugin worked perfectly.
