autoplay:false doesn't seem to work

[JayCarney]

setting autoplay: false doesn't prevent video from playing as soon as loaded,

Since this plugin isn't support any more, I thought I'd just write what I did to fix this autoplay issue (even if it is too late to help you guys out, hopefully someone else will be able to use this fix).

In the jquery.videoBG.js file on line 274, there is a conditional there to check for browser support for videos. If videos are supported by the browser, then the video autoplays even when the autoplay option is set to false.

On line 274, change:
if ($.fn.videoBG.supportsVideo()) {
to this:
if ($.fn.videoBG.supportsVideo() && options.autoplay) {

I hope this helps!
