Whooami,
I too am having a heck of a time getting embedded flash players to show up in google reader, and safari’s RSS reader. I’ve copied your object tags verbatim. Here’s what I’m using:
My DIY Player and Video:
<object class="video"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="https://northstarlabs.net/blog/flvplayer.swf"
height="300" width="400">
<param name="flashvars"
value="displayheight=300&file=https://northstarlabs.net/blog/media/WeschWeb2v3.mp4&image=https://northstarlabs.net/blog/media/WeschWeb2v3.png&height=300">
</param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
</object>
For a Youtube video, I’m using:
<object class="video"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="https://www.youtube.com/v/6gmP4nk0EOE"
height="329" width="400">
<param name="movie"
value="https://www.youtube.com/v/6gmP4nk0EOE"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
</object>
The post I’m trying to get working is:

A video of what this looks like in Google Reader is:

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
