Yes, I found a blog entry about it, but no further information.

What's about legality of the plugins? Is the WMV player plugin legal on
Windows?

I need only very simple video control (play, ,pause, rewind, forward).
Another idea might be to wrap a small part of gstreamer, DirectShow and
/whatever OS X has/ behind a small API that my app uses. Has anyone
done something like this?
