Example: (start video at time 00:20, start playing automatically, don’t show related content at end of video)

.. youtube:: 4_X6EyqXa2s?start=20&amp;autoplay=1&amp;rel=0

Known Issues

The presence of the frameBorder attribute causes an HTML5 validation error. Unfortunately, this attribute is still necessary for supporting older versions of Internet Explorer.
