Adding this bit of info. This screenshot shows a 48 hour period counted from wordpress and from youtube. You can see that the view chart matches (in shape), but the youtube count is much lower. The highest spike is counted at 162 views in an hour on wordpress, but youtube counts only 56 views during that same one hour period. So only about 1/3 of post views are actually resulting in video view count.... but if that was actually the case (i.e. if only 1/3 of visitors were clicking 'play' on the video), then surely the avg. time on the page for visitors would be much less than the 3:35 recorded by analytics.
