 * I’ve tested it out and can recreate the problem, so I’ll try to release a fix
   tomorrow!

 * It looks like the developer of WP YouTube Lyte has the shortcode only enabled
   on non-admin pages, which means Video Thumbnails is unable to detect it. I’ve
   requested he make a change [in this thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-isnt-the-shortcode-registered-for-admin-pages?replies=1#post-5671770).

 * Yeah, I’ll post any updates. If you want a temporary fix, you can use their httpv://
   www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SQkWbRublY link format (notice the “v” added to http)
   and it should have no problems detecting it.

 * Thank you! I would prefer a WP YouTube Lyte change, so I don’t have to update
   all my existing articles 🙂 So I hold my feet still for a few days and then see
   what happens.

 * If you’re up for modifying your theme’s functions.php file, you can add the following
   to add support for the shortcode:
 *     ```
       if (is_admin() && function_exists("shortcode_lyte")) {
       	add_shortcode("lyte", "shortcode_lyte");
       }
       ```
   
 * This will enable the shortcode in the admin area, something I’ve requested the
   developer do in a future update.
