Hi Denver,
I have been out of touch with mv_embed for a while, and I am also not familiar with Totem, so I might be a bit off in my response:

I am using Firefox 3.0.6 on Ubuntu 8.10. I do not have any Flash plugins installed, nor do I have the VLC plugin installed. However, I do have the Totem plugins installed for a wide variety of media formats. According to my Applications list in Preferences, "Totem Web Browser Plugin" is associated with "Ogg Audio", "Ogg Video", and "Ogg multimedia file". I am able to play Theora/Vorbis files embedded via <object> without any problems through Totem.
Is my setup supported? If not, are there plans to support it?
The players that mv_embed looks for are hard-coded in the mv_embed.js list, so we'd have to add Totem to it. We'd also need to add a layer that adapts the plugin functionality to what mv_embed needs, assuming Totem provides the necessary functionality. Does Totem provide any javascript hooks? I can't seem to find much reference on the plugin.
It would be nice to see mv_embed support arbitrary video plugins that claim to play Ogg media.
I think this would be difficult unless the plugins all provide their functionality in the same way.
Best,
Stjepan
