I have downloaded and installed the codecs from http://global.kazaalitekpp.net/download.php for playing
RealMedia and QuickTime files without having QuickTime Player or RealPlayer installed. There is also a player
called "Media Player Classic" which demonstrates that the codecs have been installed correctly, as does
Windows MediaPlayer, which all play .MOV files no problem now.

However, my little app based around TMediaPlayer keeps giving me the message "Cannot determine the device type
from the given filename extension". I have tried *ALL* of the DeviceTypes for TMediaPlayer and none of them
work. How do I do this? TIA,
