[DUG] Play a movie from a stream

[Phil Middlemiss]

 From what I understand, it can serve up streaming video content - but 
for playing it has a seperate player executable. I need something I can 
plug into a Delphi App (just realised I didn't explicitly state that - 
but hey, this is the DUG list!). Also, anything that requires a server 
to be setup is out of the question. This is going into schools and needs 
to basically play at the click of a button.

Cheers,
Phil.
