Answer 3

I did something like this

EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent mediaPlayerComponent = new EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent();
        EmbeddedMediaPlayer embeddedMediaPlayer = mediaPlayerComponent.getMediaPlayer();

        Canvas videoSurface = new Canvas();
        videoSurface.setBackground(Color.black);
        videoSurface.setSize(800, 600);

        List<String> vlcArgs = new ArrayList<String>();

        vlcArgs.add("--no-plugins-cache");
        vlcArgs.add("--no-video-title-show");
        vlcArgs.add("--no-snapshot-preview");

        MediaPlayerFactory mediaPlayerFactory = new MediaPlayerFactory(vlcArgs.toArray(new String[vlcArgs.size()]));
        mediaPlayerFactory.setUserAgent("vlcj test player");
        embeddedMediaPlayer.setVideoSurface(mediaPlayerFactory.newVideoSurface(videoSurface));
        embeddedMediaPlayer.setPlaySubItems(true);

        final PlayerControlsPanel controlsPanel = new PlayerControlsPanel(embeddedMediaPlayer);
        PlayerVideoAdjustPanel videoAdjustPanel = new PlayerVideoAdjustPanel(embeddedMediaPlayer);

//            mediaPlayerComponent.getMediaPlayer().playMedia(Constant.PATH_ROOT + Constant.PATH_MEDIA + "tmp.mp4");
        JFrame mainFrame = new JFrame();
        mainFrame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        mainFrame.setBackground(Color.black);
        mainFrame.add(videoSurface, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        mainFrame.add(controlsPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        mainFrame.add(videoAdjustPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);

        //create a button which will hide the panel when clicked.
        mainFrame.pack();
        mainFrame.setVisible(true);

        embeddedMediaPlayer.playMedia("tmp.mp4");
