 * Hi,
 * We add our API key and when we test, all is good but when we try to limit our
   API key with IP it writes this error : API key not OK, your key seems to be valid,
   but restricted to an IP-address which is not your server’s. Try changing the 
   allowed IP for your API key to include this one: [OUR-SERVER-IP].
 * But [OUR-SERVER-IP] is the same as the one we limit upon on google API. What 
   is the problem?!
 * Thanks

 * I’ve seen that happen as well, but don’t have an explanation I’m afraid. The 
   error-message displayed is the one LYTE gets from Google, nothing much you or
   I can do about that except for lifting that IP-restriction I guess?

 * This is really weird.
 * We work with Google API Credentials all the time on other projects, and IP restrictions
   works without problem… yet not with this plugin.
 * The site and the server have the same IP.
    Domain restriction was also tested
   and does not work either.
 * Is the call made to the Google API made from our server or there is a bridge 
   to another server in the plugin of some sort?
 * We can’t leave our key unprotected… especially with the new Google Billing rules.
 * Please check. Thanks!

 * call is made from your own server, no bridge
 * > We can’t leave our key unprotected
 * well, as long as you don’t share it, it is not exactly unprotected is it?
 * > especially with the new Google Billing rules.
 * I have yet to read about billing for YouTube API calls, but I might be wrong?
   🙂
 * > Please check
 * To be honest I would not know where to start checking. Always open for suggestions
   though!

   WP YouTube Lyte’s cache” and saving the changes.
 * I hope he serves someone
