I just Googled VLC and scripting, there is a limited amount of scripting you can do with VLC  but you can do somethings.

The following is a combo of applescript and shell I found on Google.

property timefromnow_time : date
on run
	display dialog "Do you want the simpsons to end after a number of minutes?" buttons {"No", "Yes"}
	copy the result as list to {button}
	
	if button is "no" then
		do shell script "/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC /var/root/T.V.\\ Programs/The\\ Simpsons > /dev/null 2>&1 & echo $!"
		
	else if button is "yes" then
		display dialog "Do you want to Shutdown or Quit?" buttons {"Quit", "Shutdown"}
		copy the result as list to {button}
		
		if button is "Quit" then
			set quitresponse to display dialog "Number of minutes until Quit?" default answer "60"
			set timer to (text returned of the quitresponse) as number
			set timefromnow_time to (current date) + (timer * minutes)
			display dialog "The simpsons will quit in: " & timefromnow_time as string
			do shell script "/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC /var/root/T.V.\\ Programs/The\\ Simpsons > /dev/null 2>&1 & echo $!"
			set pid to the result
			do shell script "sleep " & (timer * minutes) as string
			do shell script "kill " & pid & ""
			
		else if button is "Shutdown" then
			set shutdownresponse to display dialog "Number of minutes until Shutdown?" default answer "60"
			set timer to (text returned of the shutdownresponse) as number
			set timefromnow_time to (current date) + (timer * minutes)
			display dialog "This computer will shut down at: " & timefromnow_time as string
			do shell script "/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC /var/root/T.V.\\ Programs/The\\ Simpsons > /dev/null 2>&1 & echo $!"
			do shell script "shutdown -h +" & timer as string & " Simpson shutdown"
			
		end if
	end if
end run
