I think all the public (meant for applications, not for the system
components) DBus interfaces are wrapper to library functions and you
should not need to use DBus messages directly. (Libosso and Libossomime
wrap some of the DBus interfaces.)

You should use Libossomime and not DBus directly. Look at osso-mime.h
(provided by libossomime-dev). There are osso_mime_open_* functions that
you could use to open the video in Video Player.

I don't know about the Python bindings, but if you use libossomime, you
should only need to pass the file name.
