I already considered getting into Praxis LIVE at a time, when I thought
ShowQ is lost. (Fortunately, it isn't: The original author is back and
will continue this great software project!) And ShowQ is the main
reason why searching for a MIDI controllable video player - that would
make it possible to do all the cues from one place...

The possibilities listed on the homepage really sound delicious and
would probably help a lot in most multimedia approaches I'd be
confronted with. Although, I'm a bit skeptical: Praxis LIVE looks more
like a scripting language than a ready-to-use multimedia application.
I'd classify myself more as a user than a coder. Python (and even PD)
is not my world...

On the other hand: If that makes it possible to trigger all the cues
from one place...

I should dig into Praxis LIVE... But not today. I have only a few hours
before launching my next theater project (where I could use the video
player for).

Greets!
