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:

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.

I think this would be difficult unless the plugins all provide their
functionality in the same way.

Best,
