the new youtube code is already integrated (and activated when a user actually clicks the play-button), but (wp-youtube-)lyte is still not more efficient, as it does not load flash (or html5 video) before the play-button is actually clicked, cfr. the stats in http://blog.futtta.be/2010/08/30/the-state-of-wp-youtube-lyte/ 🙂
Hi,
Is it possible to add a few options with this method, like a fullscreen button on the video?
Ben
is pretty straightforward; you’d have to edit lyte.js to add the correct params in the embed src.
hope this helps,

Hey,
This is great it made my sped things up for my site but I am having z-index issues. I can’t seem to get it behind other elements. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
Peter
I suppose you mean when playing the video? Normally YouTube should take care of this automatically, as one of the parameters passed is “wmode=opaque”. Can you provide me with the URL of your blog so I can have a look?
Hello. Thanks for your quick response to my question. I’m not sure why I was having problems with my z-index but I have solved the problem on my own. My site is not live yet so I created this fiddle as an example http://jsfiddle.net/WMDLH/11/ My drop down menu. The “Animals” menu was dropping behind the video, but as you can see the problem was solved with a simple use of the z-index css attribute. Once again thanks for replying so quick.
Hi, I’m building a test website right now using Flexslider and I have embedded your lyte.js script in the page. I am having a problem with the play, pause, and volume controls not working when clicked. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get them to work? Thank you so much for your help! This website is a HTML 5 template (Porto) using Flexslider.
Flexslider + youtube is a challenge, I’m afraid I can’t guarantee that flexslider + lyte + youtube will work Crystal.
Thank you Frank. It is a great tool and I will definitely use it in other applications.
Do you know if it is compatible with Revslider?
No idea really, I haven’t touched the original lyte.js in years (it evolved into a WordPress plugin) and I am pretty ignorant as far as jQuery sliders are concerned.
Nice but I think youtube went ahead of you. they’re trying a new embed method with a new tag that seems to be the new standard for embeding video. Google a bit on it. It’s quite interesting and, as it turns out, the code is a lot smaller.
