Nope, 1.0.0 wasn’t WP YouTube Lytes final destination, the train has left that station to arrive at version 1.1.0 yesterday. Main new features include:
- an updated LYTE-player UI:
- larger display of preview image (background-size:cover instead of contain)
- changed look of title placeholder
- updated controls image
- support for “Infinite Scroll” as proposed by “der Tuxman” and Olivier
- beta-support for YouTube’s JS API as requested by Yun
- annoyance-avoidance: check for “Karma Blocker” addon and warn, based on feedback from Leona
- translation: added Romanian, thanks to Alexander and Web Hosting Geeks
I’ll leave it to Avi Buffalo to show you how the new UI looks like:
And I changed the short description (which features prominently on the wordpress.org plugin page) to better match main features:
High performance YouTube video, playlist and audio-only embeds which don’t slow down your blog and offer optimal accessibility.
Next stop: 1.2.0. Any feature requests?
Hi, thanks for the plugin. It really speeds up my music blog and is much appreciated!
However, Lyte sets fixed, inline dimensions on the embeds which breaks my fluid layout. Any option to leave those out?
I’m working on WP YouTube Lyte 1.2.0, which will be fully responsive. You can see a (static) demo here.
Intrinsic ratio embeds for peace. Love it, looks great. Let’s get it released 😉
