I tried that and it did not seem to help.  Two things, the <object> tag
is used for quicktime movies and they seem to play just fine, as well,
it seems the problem comes before the <object> as the file type does not
seem to be determined correctly (it comes in as Othrers as opposed to
file_video_x_flv.

I *think* the problem has something to do with the determination of the
file type and passing the correct information to figure out which macro
to use (macros defined in media_view.pt). 

It seems getRefsByKind is the right place to start, but I am not sure it
is being used, if it is, I am not sure how things are passed around.

(I appreciate the thought below thought!!)

Any other ideas?
