General help

Update:  I've figured out how to start the player using jquery after it is (apparently) auto-paused.  Here's the code:

$( document ).ready(function() {
       $("video").on("pause", function (e) {
              console.log("Video paused. Current time of videoplay: " + e.target.currentTime );
              e.target.play();
          });
});

When the quiz question with the embedded video loads, the video flickers and then starts.  In the console I get  "Video paused. Current time of videoplay: 0.192707".  Why is videojs pausing the video?
