 * WordPress plugins can live in other folders. And hardcoding the path is causing
   problems in this case.
 * The plugin should use the wordpress provided function to retrieve the plugin 
   url
 *     ```
       $wp_lyte_plugin_url =  plugins_url('wp-youtube-lyte');
       ```
   
 *     ```
       $lyteSettings['path']=$wp_lyte_plugin_url.'/lyte/';
       ```

 * You’re absolutely right, this should be already fixed in [the upcoming 1.6.0](http://blog.futtta.be/2015/02/18/wanted-testers-for-wp-youtube-lyte-the-one-with-the-new-yt-api/),
   would be great [if you could test](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-youtube-lyte.zip)&
   confirm OK.
 * thanks,
    frank
