Add shortcode to custom post type excerpt

    I’m using download-monitor and yet-another-star-rating plugin.

    For every download (post_type==’dlm_download’), there is a custom field labeled short_description which happens to be the post_excerpt.

    I want to add the shortcode [yasr_visitor_votes size=”medium”] to every download to allow visitors to vote on the download.

    Something like

    function add_visitor_vote( $content ) {
  global $post;
  if ( $post->post_type == 'dlm_download' ) {
	  $my_excerpt = $post->post_excerpt;
	  $my_excerpt .= '[yasr_visitor_votes size="medium"]';
	  $content .= $my_excerpt;
  }
  return $content;
}

add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'add_visitor_vote' );

    Shouldn’t it be that simple??

    This works:

    function add_visitor_vote( $content ) {
  global $post;
  if ( $post->post_type == 'dlm_download' ) {
    $content .= do_shortcode('[valid_shortcode]');
  }
  return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'add_visitor_vote' );

    But it doesn’t work with the shortcode I’m currently trying to use. Posted comment on that site.
