For my work as an event technician, the use of an
MIDI-controllable
video player would ease my life. I don't mean xjadeo, which can sync to
mtc - wich is cool, but doesn't fit to my setup. I mean something like
playing a note on a keyboard signals the player to play, pause or stop
the video, another note to switch to the next video in the playlist,
and so on...
This should be trivial to implement using mididings:
http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/
Mididings has a unit named "Call", which allows you to call a Python
function. With this you could just use Python's subprocess module to
call vlc with the appropriate command line option to activate the
function you want.

Or, if you prefer a more direkt approach, you could also use my Python
MIDI library, which includes an example, which shows how to execute
programs on receiving certain MIDI messages:
