JW Player YouTube Ads

Hello, I know that you have YouTube API implemented to HTML5 version of your player. It is working fine, but there is a problem with YouTube ads. When a YouTube video is played through JW player, a user is unable to click either on a YouTube logo or on the YouTube video. If the YouTube video is monetized, the YouTube video ad banner should be clickable, right?

Are you going to fix this bug, please? We are collaborating with some web-series authors using JW player, because it handles subtitles better than YouTube player, but without being able to click on YouTube ads, we would block their income.

sorry, a little correction:
"a user is unable to click either on a YouTube logo or on the YouTube ad"

We have fixed this in development, and it will be a part of 6.11. Clickthroughs now work in YouTube HTML5.

Why October? You need all that time for releasing an update? It's a pretty important fix.
