    Hi,
    I love this plugin and Autoptimize, great work!

    I recently ran into a snag with an embedded livestream video. Lyte fails to load a thumbnail for it, and when the video is clicked, it shows a “video unavailable” error instead of the “live stream offline” YouTube message, making me think it’s having some trouble handling live streams.

    I am using a YouTube API key.

    Haven’t ever tested live streams with it I’m afraid. Does YT’s original “embed code” differ from normal (non-live) embeds?

    The embed code does not seem to be different, but the result definitely is. Must be a difference in what is sent over from the server.

    Nevermind, it appears I was using some older embed code from a few years ago. The code from right-clicking on the livestream and clicking “Copy embed code” works fine in WP YouTube Lyte.

    Sorry to waste your time, user error on my part.
