Maybe just a TWebBrowser (preferably using the Edge/WebView2 engine) is an option?

This is interesting blog

Perhaps this might work for showing videos, but there is also the possibility that certain Codecs or Plugins were missing, like  HLS (.m3u8) : 

var
  HTMLContent: string;
begin
  HTMLContent := '<!DOCTYPE html>' +
                 '<html>' +
                 '<body>' +
                 '<video width="640" height="480" controls>' +
//either local file
                   '<source src="file:///C:/Pfad/zum/Video.mp4" type="video/mp4">' +
//or stream          
                 '<source src="https://example.com/stream.m3u8" type="application/x-mpegURL">' +  
                 'Dein Browser unterstützt das Video-Tag nicht.' +
                 '</video>' +
                 '</body>' +
                 '</html>';
  EdgeBrowser1.NavigateToString(HTMLContent);
end;

For accessing local files, there could be the need to add AdditionalBrowserArgument flags

@ToddFrankson Pls change title of topic from "Does anyone know of...." to "Play a video from a stream".
Descriptive topic titles help users with finding relevant posts.
