Hi guys,
I’m still looking for a solution to play video in the background.
Anybody an idea how to write a script to trigger a VLC playlist?

Hi Sven,
Long time, I hope all is well! I did a post for OBS Studio explaining how to control it’s features from Cantabile. It might be an alternative way to get there for your background videos.
Cheers,
Dave

I successfully trigger VLC with Bome software. It offers midi connection between Windows programs and C3 recognizes it (C3 is windows only, as far as I know).
Email Bome with that scenario and they can tell you how to program it. The software you want is MIDI Translator.
Here is the file to load that triggers play/pause in VLC with a MIDI note message. You can edit it to fit your scenario. Just click the link and download the vlc play/pause file. Help yourself to anything else in the folder, as well. I can’t upload the file directly here. Of course, you need to load the file into MIDI Translator, I have the midi I/O already set, all you need to do is add the MIDI connection in C3 and you hopefully have a projector and screen attached to your system to run the video during performance.
