The files being on an FTP server will pose a bit of a problem. Since you can't add a COM component to your form, since you won't know which plyers are installed, you have to shell launch each file using a command line, just like double-clicking the file in Explorer. The problem is that this approach does not work with FTP files because the command line you have to use will quite possibly launch a clients FTP client instead. The commandline would have to be:
ftp://someserver/somefolder/content.mpg

In order for this approach to work, you'd have to download the file to the client machine first, then launch the command line for the newly downloaded file. The new commandline that would launch the default player would be something like:
C:\Windows\Temp\content.mpg

The only way the first URI would work is if you could pass the path as a parameter to the media player when you launch it, or if it is added to your form as an object out of the toolbox.
wmplayer ftp://someserver/somefolder/content.mpg

but, you don't know what players are installed, or what file extensions will successfully play in each player.

It would seem you have a choice to make...
