I can not find out which program plays videos under xbian/kodi. Which program do I have to start if I want to play a video from the command line?
My idea is a video player which plays all videos which are stored on a memory stick. I want no playlist, no remote control, nothing. I only want to write a small Perl script which collects a list of all videos on the memory stick, creates a random order and plays all videos. Therefore I need a command line call for the video player.

in this case you do not need Kodi but bare OS like headless Raspbian.
By running Kodi you just wasting resources...

same player is used in Kodi, but if you not going to use gui it is better you use lightweight OS
There is a standalone omxplayer, I use it all the time. Just shutdown Kodi and use omxplayer, you must install it first of course.
