The compromise impressed me too.

On further investigation it looks like Jeroen has had his work used by lots of people as his player is used in quite a few CMS's and blogs as plugins. The other cool feature I found somewhere was the ability to add videos and the pre/post rolls into a DB and call them.

From what I can work out the trick is to use the XML file to call the pre/post roll. I think the only issues with admin integrating his work would be we would all need to get a commercial license (not a problem for me at 15 Euros) and admin would need to leave Jeroen's work unencoded.

All in all this looks like the best option I've found (and I have been looking damned hard) so please Please PLEASE Admin .... will you try to give us this much wanted feature? - even if to comply with licensing it has to be as a plugin?

TIA
