Specs: Delphi XE7, VCL, Windows 7 -- youtube video URL's, to play videos only.
I don't know why, but I am struggling with this one, how to create an app to just play youtube videos in.
At first, I thought I should be using the TWebBrowser component. But then I thought maybe that is not a good idea because then the whole webpage will show, and that is not what I want. I only want to play video by its URL. Thus, only to show a video window.
I have a list of youtube URL's (and also their thumbnail URL's) , so I will use a combobox or listbox control on my form. I would also like to play other website videos, like Vemeo, and Dailymotion, etc.
Although I've played around with using the TWebBrowser, that was a fail--for obvious reasons. And i've also tried CEF4Delphi and WebView4Delphi and those two are also not working. So I am thinking I need some other component all-together.
What (free) components do I need to accomplish this?
