How to Embed Media Player Parameters

When embedding a media player into your blog or website, you have a few options regarding what you want the media player to do. These options are controlled by the "PARAM" or parameter sections of the HTML code you embed in your page. Among other things, you can use parameters to auto-start a video, loop a video and show video controls. The "Parameter" sections in HTML code fall between the <Object ID" and the "</Object>" tags.
