The VLC-Player Object can be found in your ActiveX-Components Tabsheet.
Place one of it in your Form1, place a TButton and use the following code:

 unit Unit1;
 
 interface
 
 uses
   Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
   Dialogs, StdCtrls, OleCtrls, AXVLC_TLB;
 
 type
   TForm1 = class(TForm)
     Button1: TButton;
     vlc: TVLCPlugin;
     procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
   private
     { Private-Deklarationen }
   public
     { Public-Deklarationen }
   end;
 
 type
 VLCPlaylistMode = TOleEnum;
 const
 VLCPlayListInsert = $00000001;
 VLCPlayListReplace = $00000002;
 VLCPlayListAppend = $00000004;
 VLCPlayListGo = $00000008;
 VLCPlayListCheckInsert = $00000010; 
 
 var
   Form1: TForm1;
 
 implementation
 
 {$R *.dfm}
 
 procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
 begin
 vlc.addTarget('C:\video.mpg', null, VLCPlayListInsert, 0);
 // you can use any MRL with parameters instead of 'c:\video.mpg' here
 vlc.play;
 
 end;
 
 end.
