VLC appears to support MPRIS, so commands like
$ playerctl play-pause
$ playerctl next
$ playerctl previous
Should be able to control it. See the Relevant arch wiki page for more info.
VLC also appears to have a TUI interface. Check out the VLC wiki

Thank you so much! One more thing: would there be a way to check if the user has playerctl installed on their system? Or is there a Python package like it?
