VLC Midi remote is a small Windows utility to control VLC Media Player with MIDI commands. One use case is to play items in a VLC playlist using MIDI messages.
MIDI can be wired or wireless, using the awesome rtpMIDI project.

I'm taking advantage of the awesome MIDI library originally from Leslie SANFORD and now maintained by Tebjan Halm at https://github.com/tebjan/Sanford.Multimedia.Midi

VLCMidiRemote.exe.config
file and edit to your liking:VLCPath

: the path of your VLC playlist which contains the videos you want to trigger.VLCAddress

The application reacts on NoteOn events. It maps C3 to the first video in the playlist. C#3 will trigger the second video in the playlist.
