Research direction
Examine the plyr source code to find where the YouTube embed parameters are set (likely in youtube.js). Verify if the rel=0 parameter is being passed correctly to the YouTube player. Check the YouTube Player API documentation to confirm whether rel=0 still suppresses related videos when the user is logged in. Review the issue comments for any proposed fixes or workarounds. Then implement a fix if applicable.
