Description
A lot of the shows that are being run at AStA require VLC to play videos or music. We should add CLI commands to control VLC using its API. A possible backend for this functionality would be libvlc, which is available for python as well.
Required functionality would be
- Play/Pause (for example to synchronize a video being played on scene switch)
- Switch Track (Depending on what the video wall should display)
- Read current track
- Get meta data for current thread

Research direction
No files, tests, or existing entry points are named. Start by locating the project's CLI command structure and assess Python libvlc support for the requested VLC API integration. Done means CLI commands support play/pause, track switching, reading the current track, and retrieving metadata for the current thread.
