There isn't a full-featured LGPL media player that I'm aware of.

If you want tight integration, you could use ffmpeg as others have
said, but you then have to write a lot of networking, demuxing and
video output code. Basically you would have to write a media player
minus the codecs.

An approach I believe respects both the licence and the project is
to make useful changes to vlc and fold them back into the project.

Keep your gui/control application completely seperate and control
vlc through one of the control interfaces (rc/telnet/http).

On that note, I really owe the vlc project a clean no-decorations
patch.
