The code for EasyStream is created with Delphi Professional 6. 
I have not tested with any other version of Delphi or Lazarus. 
To play any media files, EasyStream uses a ActiveX Plugin from VLC ( www.videolan.org ).
To compile EasyStream you must have VLC ActiveX Plugin installed. 

   What you need

    * Borland Delphi 3 or newer  ( for ActiveX Plugin )
    * a running System with Microsoft Windows
    * The VideoLan Client (VLC) including the ActiveX Plugin installed 

  Import the ActiveX-Component

    * Start your Borland Delphi
    * < Delphi2005: Select Components --> Import ActiveX --> VideoLan VLC ActiveX Plugin
    * >= Delphi 2006: Select Components --> Import component --> Import ActiveX Control --> VideoLan VLC ActiveX Plugin
    * Otherwise try creating a new package using the created AXVLC_TLB.pas 

  Confirm successfull installation

    * You should now be able to add the TVLCPlugin from the ActiveX-Tab of your Component toolbox.
