What is the Windows application for displaying video on plasmas?

Hello! Once already asked this question, but still does not come out to find a solution.
I have a Windows computer with TVs connected to it.
Requires an application with the following features:
1. Play videos from the playlist in random order
2. Every N plays (or by time) play a promotional video (1 or more).
3. It is desirable to be able to manage playlists without interrupting the show (the computer shows clips on plasmas in the room, all plasmas go as a “second” monitor)
VLC and other players are not suitable due to the lack of item 2
Thank you!

You can try this option:
- two folders: one with videos, the other with ads
- make a batch file with the launch of the player, from it we pass the parameter the folder where to get the videos from, the second line is the launch of the player with an advertising folder
- this batch file launches another a batch file that waits for N minutes and kills the player
-- the first batch file immediately restarts the player with an advertising folder and again a batch file with a timer
-- at the end of the first batch file, go to the beginning
-- at the beginning, you can still use robocopy to synchronize folders before starting the player with which - a folder into which we throw the necessary videos. this way the playlist will be updated the next time you restart the player.
-- Instead of the second batch file, you can use the task scheduler, for example.
once implemented like this, but here ads and videos are mixed:
the first batch file

:1
robocopy c:\show\hall c:\show\screen3 /mir /XF file "Thumbs.db"
"C:\Program Files\The KMPlayer\kmplayer.exe" c:\show\screen3\
set date1=date /t
echo %date%>>screen3_log.txt
goto 1

second batch file
taskkill /f /im kmplayer.exe
set date1=date /t
echo %date%>>screen3_log.txt

The computer is always on. The first batch file starts at system startup, the second one every night at 3 o'clock. The necessary videos are thrown into the hall folder. kmplayer is configured to randomly play in a circle on the second desktop (it is generally quite flexible in settings and quite omnivorous).
The solution, of course, is not entirely aesthetic, but it works.
