OP doesn't specify though if only that video is needed at runtime, what end users are allowed to do on such device?
e.g
- load and start the video on boot, until it's closed?
- only allow to run that video? (single-app)
Have a look at "kiosk mode" (https://www.raspberrypi.com/tutorials/h ... iosk-mode/), "digital signage" (as mentioned).
Main purpose of such "kiosk mode" is to run a single GUI without the need to run a full desktop environment.
Depending on which supports you need (X11 vs Wayland), there may be different solutions.
e.g: https://github.com/cage-kiosk/cage (wayland)
If you do happen to have time / resources for that project, consider writing a small client app to load that video in auto-loop, thus removing the need to use any media players - which is quite an overhead to only run 1 video IMO.

Also have a look at the various pi based digital signage packages, e.g. screenly (Anthias), PiSignage, Yodeck etc.
