Origin normally doesn't display any media at all on the front page. You can override this for most things by going to the Write Post page, clicking to the Text editor, and copying all the code you want to show up on the main page. Then paste that into the Excerpt box below the Write Post box. Update the post. That should do it, but that theme can be touchy to work with.

It'll show up as an embedded player.

If someone could help, it'd be appreciated.
