Erm, streams are files in a way.
Does TMediaPlayer have a LoadFromStream(); function? Probably not....

Try getting some 3rd party component if you can't really figure it out {^_^}

There's one on my website (Go for the Miscellaneous Components
package). It's free and includes source code.

Basically you drop a TMediaPlayerMemoryFile on a form, give it a dummy
file name (say test.xxx), and set the TMediaPlayer's file name to the
same thing, with a '+' appended - eg. test.xxx+. You can the load the
TMediaPlayerMemoryFile with your data (it's derived from TMemoryStream)
and away you go.

Please mail me if you have any problems using it...
