As is, VlcMovieStim segfaults for me (tested on Win 10, Win 11, Ubuntu 22..10 and latest Linux Mint) when playing a movie. I don't really have time to investigate atm, but increasing the ref count seems to fix the problem.

I'm comfortable pulling this in for now but what we're really wanting is for the ffpyplayer movies to be the single go-to movie player, rather than trying to support multiple solutions. Is that player not working for you?

Last time I tried it seemed to have problems with larger movie files (audio/video not synced). Also, it still says "This movie class is very efficient and better suited for playing high-resolution videos (720p+) than the other movie classes." in the docs.
