JQuery Cycle Plugin resuming unintentionally

Question

I am looking to have a slide in a slideshow that contains a YouTube video. It should:

pause on mouseover
pause during playing a YouTube video
contain pagination

I used the JQuery Cycle Plugin for the slideshow. http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/

and used YouTube's iframe API https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference

The slideshow pauses and resumes correctly for play/pause of the video; however, if you mouseout of the video slide it will resume.

Is there any way to prevent this using the JQuery Cycle Plugin?

Thanks.

Not a solution to exact problem - but a simple alternative.

Since you use cycle - upgrade to cycle2 - http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/ - there is already a cycle2 extension for youtube videos (check download section) .

You can use 90% of your code, since the syntax is mostly the same - except some new options (and few are renamed).
