Play a random video once a day at a random time (VLC / Python / Telnet)

I am working on a project that deals with a specific way to exhibit video art.

For an exhibition, I want a random video to be played once a day at a random time. The random video is picked out of 10 chosen videos. So basically one video is randomly picked at a random moment within every 24 hours.

What would be the best way for me to go about this, and which programs / scripts should I use?

One suggestion I found was connecting VLC through telnet to Python, but before I commit to this I would like to consider various options.

Thank you very much for your help in advance! Luuk
