Unfortunately (for me) the lazvlc package is not graphical so I cannot
use it in RAD fashion...
But I found another package PasLibVlc that does what I need:

There is also a blog article describing how to get going:

This made it possible for me to create my videoplayer and it works OK
for the level of functionality described in the blog.

I have run into difficulties trying to implement incremental position
move buttons in the player, though.
