[jQuery] Re: Malsup Media Plugin: hoping to click ul/li and have NEW video start and old stop - PLUS FLV-player.net tests

There is a nice long list of parameters:
http://flv-player.net/players/maxi/documentation/
I am going to try some new ideas for getting video to play.
I think it is because one of the parameters must call the actual video
and when in the script part of media plugin code causes problem. I
will try to move the parameter to the body code <a> line.

Sorry for any lack of clarity and perhaps excessive 'long-ness' of my
above first post.
