background plugin and viewport-autoplay plugin on the same page
viewport-autoplay applies itself to the background player
It's entirely possible and letigimate for both players to be in the same viewport, and it is not necessarily desired or illitigimate that the background video should pause while it's not in the viewport.
this is too much magic - see also #4
except for engine plugins, afair all plugins must be explicitly enabled
It's not an additional core option, it's a plugin option, so we don't have to be utterly miserly with an option at the cost of confusion.
After that we can re-enable splash setups for this, and let the user decide whether the potenial forced unloading etc. is desired or not.
