I have been enhancing the embedded player and swatting the various bugs that are shaking out as a result. You can now pass "color" and "bgcolor" parameters to get more of the player to match the embedding site. Still need to expose links, fonts, thumb borders and labels to reach minimal customization requirements. Also need to expose all "Flashparams" for open source players in order to control their colors, etc. Each step makes for cleaner embedding.

The biggest win on this is that the next deployed version of staging will have only one player in use instead of two. Even the Ourmedia home page player will be embedded just like it is on my blog and in an earlier post here in the Ourmedia Tools blog.
