 * Hi, thank you for this plug in, it’s really helped my page load times tremendously.
 * The wordpress embedded youtube does not have the bottom section that includes
   the playbutton and progress bar. This format looks much cleaner on a page with
   many YouTube videos. [Example](http://newslines.org/blog/2012/07/02/events/2012-benghazi-attack/innocence-of-muslims-posted-to-youtube/)
 * I hope you can create an option to remove the play button/progress bar from the
   bottom of the image.

 * Based on my own experience, the progress bar is sometimes shown and sometimes
   it is not. On the example page you provided, the progress bar is there in my 
   case, cfr. [screenshot here](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9207036/youtube_progress_bar.jpg).

 * I’ve been giving this some more thought; I’ll probably not add this as an option(
   I would actually love to reduce the number of options), but you can easily remove
   the progress bar by adding something like this to your theme’s CSS:
 *     ```
       .ctrl {
           display: none !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * hope this helps!
 * best wishes for 2013,
    frank

 * One other question. Is it possible to apply the plugin to all Youtube videos 
   on my site without having to use “httpv” on each one?

 * WP YouTube Lyte doesn’t offer that feature by default, but I would advice you
   to try one of the plugins that replaces text; if you configure such a plugin (
   if it is started with high priority, you might have to tinker with [the add_action priority parameter](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_action),
   will have to have higher priority then wp youtube lyte) to replace [http://www.youtube.com](http://www.youtube.com)
   with httpv://www.youtube.com, it should work. Hope this helps.
