if you really just need to play videos triggered by your pd patch then you can 
use the player that comes with the Pi, it can be played using [shell].

here is a very quick example I set up for a friend who wanted to play a bunch of 
videos on que, starting different videos together on 4 or 5 Pis cued from a 
laptop over wifi. It wasn't hard for her to get a screenfull of buttons to do 
the cues she wanted, and the Pis were great since she didn't have much time to 
set up in the venue, so her wifi network could be run and tested offsite. Plus 
the Pis worked out cheaper than buying long VGA cables etc.

Anyway this worked for her .. obviously it is extremely limited, but it does let 
you play videos cued by pd. Just open pihelp.pd

Now I want to get things a bit better, and see if I can put together a very 
simple set of pd objects to set up a window then play and crossfade a series of 
videos. Nothing fancy yet, but just getting that up will be a start.

Unfortunately it can't happen too soon, I've got some other stuff on my plate too.
