Video player as MIDI slave?
Is there a way to start a video (fullscreen) on a PC from a DAW or a drum computer via MIDI?

Re: Video player as MIDI slave?
I don't know of any direct way to do that. What comes to mind is that there are many ways to control VLC remotely. If you're that kind of person, it shouldn't be too hard to cobble together a script to translate from MIDI to VLC API.
All in favor of Linux, say 'aye.'

PC "A" with Qtractor running, sending MIDI clock and Song Pointer, Qtractor connected to MIDI interface
A's MIDI interface's out connected to B's MIDI interface's in
PC "B" with Qtractor running, receiving MIDI clock and Song Pointer, Qtractor connected to MIDI interface
-> Qtractor in PC "B" acts as bridge between MIDI clock and Song Pointer to jack transport
xjadeo /path/to/video/file.mov
-> xjadeo displays the first still picture of the video
Start/stop/rewind Qtractor on PC "A"
-> xjadeo plays the video and honors the song position
