Pre-compiled version

Binaries can be found in Binary folder.

Or you can download them somewhere in the internet, because on official web-site - http://light-alloy.verona.im - you will find only the modern Light Alloy, not the classic one which is present here.

How to compile

To compile Light Alloy from source code you will need plain Borland Delphi 7 (compile with any other version is impossible), without any VLC/RTL customizations. This restriction is forced due to reason that source code of a few files has been lost, and only .dcu of these files are present.

No custom components required.

Support

Light Alloy v4.4 which is present here is latest Light Alloy version which DirectShow engine is written in Delphi (so named "classic" version).

Current up-to-date Light Alloy version (which is v4.7, so named "modern" version) has video engine written in C++, and has a lot of internal rewrittes on UI-side (which is still in Delphi).

Thus, v4.4 is not in active development anymore, so only source code support is provided (feel free to email/skype me with your questions, or you can start a topic in Source Code board at Light Alloy forums).

What's the point?

There are a lot of open source media players for Windows. But mostly all of them are written in C++, and there is just no any decent, robust, features-complete, and mostly bug-free media player written in Delphi released under open source.
