What does "html5 video support" mean?

When playing, HTML5 video will not be visible for everyone (see requirements). Indeed some visitors will see the fallback Flash video instead.

What are the requirements to see embedded YouTube HTML5 video?

• It only works in browsers that support the h264 (Safari, Chrome, IE9) or WebM (currently Chrome, Opera and Firefox) video codecs
• Your visitor has to be enrolled in the YouTube html5 beta

Does WP YouTube Lyte protect my visitor's privacy?

As opposed to some of the most important plugins there is no 3rd party tracking code in WP YouTube Lyte, but YouTube off course does see visitor requests coming in (see also the youtube-nocookie.com remark in Bugs/Issues below).

Can I use WP YouTube Lyte for a custom field?

As tested and confirmed by rumultik.ru's Dimitri (thanks for that man!), this indeed does work. Just pass the httpv url of such a field to lyte_parse like this:

if(function_exists('lyte_parse')) { echo lyte_parse($video); }

and you're good to go!

Does WP YouTube Lyte work with Infinite Scroll?

Starting from version 1.1.0 it does; in Infinite Scroll's configuration you just have to add "ly.te()" in the "Javascript to be called after the next posts are fetched"-box.

Can I still integrate with YouTube's JS API?

This was added as a beta feature in version 1.1.0; add ?enablejsapi=1 to the httpv URL. WP YouTube Lyte will pick this up, and add ?enablejsapi=1&origin= to the URL of the iFrame with the iFrame id being set to iF_. As soon as your visitors plays the video, you should be able to hook up with the video.

Any bugs/ issues should I know about?

• Although the widget is available in (very) small sizes, these do not display that great and might, in the near future, be disabled by YouTube as their Terms of Service state that the smallest available embedded player is 200X200 pixels. Use the deprecated smaller sizes at your own risk.
• Having the same YouTube-video on one page can cause WP YouTube Lyte to malfunction (as the YouTube id is used as the div's id in the DOM, and DOM id's are supposed to be unique)
• As youtube-nocookie.com does not serve the HTML5-player, WP YouTube Lyte uses the youtube.com domain (which provides less privacy), but as soon as youtube-nocookie.com serves HTML5-video, this will become the default domain for WP YouTube Lyte again.
• When using the Firefox plugin Karma Blocker, the video isn't visible when clicking "play", with a warning message being shown instead. This is expected behavior and should be solved by tweaking Karma Blocker's configuration.

I found a bug/ I would like a feature to be added!
