vime-embed

Embeds an external media player and enables interacting with it via postMessage. This is generally used internally by other providers, but you could use it if your requirements are simple. You'll also get the benefits of preconnections and lazy-loading. Refer to existing providers to see what params you can pass in, how to send commands to the player, and how to listen to events.
