How to include videos?

[alex189]

Hi!

I've started programming with Lazarus some weeks ago.
Well, I'm still a beginner, but little applications like a calculator are no problem.
Yesterday I wondered if it's possible to play videos in an application built with Lazarus.
Yes, and that's my question to you, how to play videos with Lazarus applications?

Thanks in advance.

PS: Sorry if my English seems a bit odd, I'm from Germany!

Thanks for you answer.
But does this also work on Windows?
What do I have to write for that:

Code: [Select]

Filename:='/home/username/video.mpg';
PlayerPath:=FindDefaultExecutablePath('mplayer');

Hi Alex, this code is only for use a external application like windows media player for windows, the example show mplayer that case for a linux version, the filename is the name of the file maybe into My Documents for windows; I'm not sure yet if you can embebbed it into your application.

Filename:='/home/username/video.mpg';
PlayerPath:=FindDefaultExecutablePath('mplayer');
