Problem running test for "vlc" components

[Curt Carpenter]

Ubuntu 18.04 + Lazarus 2.2.4

I have installed the "vcl" components from my lazarus 2.2.4 "components" directory, but have been unable to execute the test program that is included with the components.   The "testlcl" project compiles, but will not play any file, instead halting with the following message:   Project testlcl raised exception class 'External: Unknown exception code 6'.  I suspect an operator error on my part, but I don't know what to look for at this point.  My VLC media player (3.0. works properly.

Any insights into what I may be doing wrong would be appreciated.  I've also tried the fpc test programs for the vlc package with the same result.

Hello, I installed PasLibVlc from the link: https://prog.olsztyn.pl/paslibvlc/

Thank you Pe3s.  I have tried that, but without success on my Linux system.  In the meantime, I have v4L working and think I will focus on trying to understand its code and usage.
