How to have normal YouTube-links handled by WP YouTube Lyte

Although by default WP YouTube Lyte only works with httpv or httpa links and hence does not act on normal YouTube links (which are instead auto-handled by oEmbed in WordPress core), you can easily change this behavior by adding the following code-snippet to your theme’s function.php or to a separate “helper”-plugin:

/** force wp youtube lyte on http://www.youtube.com url's as well */
add_filter('the_content', 'force_lyte_parse', 1);
function force_lyte_parse($content) {
     $content=str_replace('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=','httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=',$content);
     return $content;
}

Now that wasn’t too hard, now was it?
