good news - I already struggled on how to get those videos in the media 
player.

As I just started playing with the media CE - is there a way to use any 
other flash embedding JS than SWFObject? It looks quite hardcoded, but 
as I use jQuery together with flowplayer a lot, it's obvious that I'd 
like to use flashembed too - but unfortunately I don't see a way to do 
so without xclassing.
Second it doesn't work if you've set "moveJsToFooter" (or how it's 
called), as the inline JS of swfobject will be executed before it's 
actually loaded, and I again didn't see a way on how to force swfObject 
to get included in the header. So, are there any plans on improving this?
