 * Could I send a link to a page with a problem?
 * My videos are all centered without resizing in the block options, and the settings
   are for the 853×480 player, don’t add links, player centered, HD enabled, no 
   microdata, yes for normal links and thumbnails, and thumbnails cached.
 * The image is squashed down so the iframe height is only 26px high. It’s happened
   previously but I’ve readded videos and messed about a few times to fix on individual
   pages.
 * I do use autooptimize and caching so I think it might ended up being a CSS issue.
   Hope you can help 🙂

 * OK, so does the problem continue when you load the page with `?ao_noptimize=1`
   added to the URL?

 * One page that had the problem I tried with that added url string and it fixed
   it, even when I visited again without the string, and then trying again the same
   problem is happening.
 * I’ve tried excluding the js scripts wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/lyte/lyte-
   min.js, wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/lyte/lyte.js
 * is there anything else that I could do?

 * well, that implies the problem is with AO somehow, probably with JS optimization,
   so to confirm try disabling JS opt. for a second and see if that “fixes” things,
   based on that we’ll see what the next steps are?

 * I’ve disabled it and it does fix the issue – should I now try disabling optimisation
   of certain youtube lyte scripts?

 * well, when optimize JS is active, what errors do you see on the browser console?
