[Mono-list] Recommended approach for embedding VLC in a Mono app?

[thenextman]

Yes, it can do both.

You need to use the Process object in System.Diagnostics to kick off an
instance of MPlayer. Launch it with the -slave argument, and pass in the
handle to your window/control that you want MPlayer to draw in with the -wid
argument.

You will need to redirect the stdin/out/err to control MPlayer and get
feedback from it.

The docs on slave mode are here:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/slave.txt. There are lots of useful
arguments, like -idle which will prevent MPlayer from exiting if it doesn't
have anything to play.

There is a decent tutorial here:

enough to get me going...
