I've been considering this. It might be a good use case for Muinshee.
Muinshee is a good standalone player for when you don't really need a
library, but still uses all of the Banshee infrastructure.

We need a similar solution for the one-off video case. Perhaps extending
Muinshee to play video in a similar way would be a good solution.
