Thanks Lisa, it helps a little. My blog, and many of the staff I work with, use hosted blogs at wordpress.com we don't have a say on what extensions are added to the service. I will try out the code you have given me and see if it works.
Our course blogs (some of our teachers use blogs to deliver online courses) use hosted wordpress blogs on the service called edublogs.org and I know they do have the SWF extension added so that's good, and others use Blogger blogs which I imagine aren't a problem. I'm curious though Lisa, how come the Kaltura player gives Myspace code? Is that something that is developed in negotiation with Myspace, or is Myspace open enough for developers to write embed code for it? Perhaps Kaltura could contact Wordpress.com and ask to have their player supported, especially with the possible uptake by Wikimedia projects! That will make Kaltura huge, and I'd say a lot my wordpress users will want an easy embed code. Also, any word on an export video feature? Maybe I better go and subscribe to Kaltura blog. You're going to have some hard core communicating effort coming up hey Lisa :) Kaltura is going to get a lot of attention I'd say.
