Please note that I've been using wedge.org these days for testing local changes to the video player system. The embedder is also impacted by this, and will currently fail to embed any Flash videos. Don't worry, hey, not going to commit that... :P

YouTube uses iframes for embedding (unless you're using a very old version of Aeva), so the process is invisible to you.

I'm only saying, the embed code *on wedge.org* is broken, but it's not broken in Wedge itself. Don't worry ;)

I've reset most of the embed code so it should be working fine again; I'm mostly working on the <audio> tag now: my goal is to retain the capability of my Flash plugin for JW Player (this is the only time in my life I ever dabbled into ActionScript and Flash compilation, BTW) that allowed me to show a spectrum analyzer for audio files. I'm doing this with the Web Audio API, which is now stable.

I'm nearly done with the player rewrite...
- Spectrum analyzer is implemented; I ended up reusing a sample I found online, and improving it here and there. I still need to properly style it so that it 'looks' like the old one.
- Volume changes are now recorded for your next page load. This is also my first use of local storage instead of cookies. Me likes, because this doesn't take any bandwidth. Heck, I should probably make sure all cookies that aren't used server-side should be in local storage instead...

I've been spending the better part of the day trying to get MOV and WMV files to work in my player, but alas they're not officially supported by HTML (perhaps MOV files encapsulating MPEG4 data are, I haven't tested those.)

I was wondering -- are you guys satisfied with AeMe supporting these formats..? Or have you never used them for videos you upload? In which case, I could simply remove support for them and delete the sections in my code where I have to add <object> and <embed> tags to support these, with the understanding that outside of the Microsoft/Apple worlds, most OSes would have ignored them anyway...
