Lite Video Embed 1.9.4Latest
- Fixed YouTube playlist embeds never refreshing on the frontend: WordPress ignored the 1-hour cache TTL there, so playlists are now re-fetched once their cache is older than an hour
Lite Video Embed 1.9.3
- Fixed a low-resolution thumbnail (hqdefault) on YouTube playlist embeds by resolving the playlist’s first video and applying the same auto-quality preview lookup used for single videos
- Playlist embeds are now cached for 1 hour instead of 24, so a newly added video shows up sooner
Lite Video Embed 1.9.2
- Fixed a broken preview when embedding a YouTube playlist link
- The playlist preview now shows the title of its default video instead of the playlist’s own title
- Fixed a fatal error when the video description is empty and no fallback description is set in plugin settings
- Fixed the responsive (16:9 etc.) preview image always loading a low-resolution thumbnail on wide containers by making the sizes attribute match the actual player width
- Fixed a “Translation loading was triggered too early” notice on WordPress 6.7+ by deferring plugin setup to the init hook
