-This component is a video player based on the VLC libraries.
-You need the VLC library headers in FPC, so this will only compile with FPC
-2.7.1 and higher.
-
-The component works on Windows and Linux with GTK2. 
-It should work with QT, but this is untested.
-
-The test directory contains a sample project that shows minimal use of the
-component.
-
-There are actually 2 components:
-TLCLVLCPLayer
-and 
-TVLCMediaListPlayer
-The former plays 1 video file. The second can be used to create a playlist
-and uses a TLCLVLCPLayer to play the media.
