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...
