Julian,

Not sure if the api_keys solution is going to work out.

The way it's solved now, doesn't work for exported LO's.

Also, there was a small typo in modules/xerte.play.php (Which I fixed), 
and shouldn't the same code be applied to preview as well?

But I am worried about export. Let me think of a solution there.

Tom
