jquery - Start autoplaying video by clicking image overlay. Need to work for multiple videos

Question

I have a bit of code working which when clicking on an overlay images removes the image and allow it's corresponding video to autoplay. What I am struggling with is how to make this work if there are multiple videos, each with its own overlay image.

Here is a link to the codepen: https://codepen.io/NewbCake/pen/qMMQZo

The problem is that when clicking on any overlay it removes all overlays and plays only the first video. How can I make it work for each one individually? I notice when I change the index of f = $f[0] to f = $f[1] it plays the second video (even clicking on the first video). How do I get it to select the index of the one that it is clicked on?

I am also wondering if there are any foreseeable drawbacks to using this...will work on mobile or will it cause problems?

Thank you in advance for any help!

try this:

This will play the corresponding video, and if you click on another one it will pause the current one and play the new one. Hope this helps :)

$(function(){

      window.addEventListener('message', function(e){
        var d = JSON.parse(e.data);
      }, false);


      $('.btn').click(function(){

        parent_video = $(this).parent().parent();

        $('.video-intro').each(function(){
             if(!$(parent_video).is($(this))){
               var $iframe = $(this).find('iframe');
               $iframe[0].src = $iframe[0].src;
               $(this).find('.image').show(0);
             }
        });

        var $t = $(this);
        var $iframe = $t.parent().parent().find('iframe');
        setTimeout(function(){
          runCommand('play', $iframe);
        }, 200);

        $t.parent().fadeOut(200); //hide the .image div
      });


      function runCommand(cmd, $f){
        var data = {method : cmd},
        url = $f.attr('src').split('?')[0];
        $f[0].contentWindow.postMessage(JSON.stringify(data), url);
      }

      // fitvids
      $('.video-intro').fitVids();

});
