Does anyone know where to start in trying to embed either xine or
mplayer into the lazarus LCL? In windows this was easy, but now in
linux, I really have no idea where to start looking. Has anyone done
this sort of thing? Any help would be appreciated.

mplayer has an option of embedding itself in a window (by it's window
id)

Thanks for the reply. I knew it was possible (xine will do the same
but from what I understand its more of a moving target) but I just
don't know how to do it. Have you ever done this before? Tips,
pointers etc.? I'm at a loss as to where to start.

hm. you can execute mplayer with the option -wid <windowid> e.g.
mplayer -wid <id-number> <filename>
(without the <'s ofcoutse). mplayer has a lot ofoptions, and can be
controlled externally with commands (like play, rewind).
In the forum there should be information on how to get a component's
window id.
PGtkWindow(PGtkWidget(form1.handle)^.Window)^.windowID
you can search the forum for information on how to get teh window id.
