* Using the API, which module allow for checking of automaticAdvance
(step 2 & 7) and how do you get a handle to it?
* Using the API, how do you programatically advance to the next video
in the playlist

exactly how you were using Brightcove. I wish I could help here, but
I'm scratching my head at the moment. It could work if you could
programmatically assign a postroll ad to a video (which isn't
possible) or if there was a way to pause a video before it started
and then unpause it again (which I don't think is possible). I'm
asking around to see if anybody else has an idea on this. -Brian
