I am an average java developer and i am trying to come up with a browser that is developed entirely in java. I want that my browser must be able to play youtube videos, and for that i was planning to use JMF. Here are my questions:

1) can JMF be used to stream and play videos from links like youtube. If yes, can Some one please point to a demo link(a basic one will do, rest i will develop)

2) If that is possible, should we use JMF or VLCJ? If you recommend VLCJ, where can i find "libvlc"? I had a hard time looking for it.

Thanks to everyone for their help in advance

JMF seems to be abandoned, so VLCJ is a better choice

you can find libvlc.dll here . Pick the biggest. Or just install VLC player.
