Multiple Instances on single Win10 Play/Pause with Hotkey

I am trying to play different videos at the same time on the same Windows 10 Pro x64 computer across 5 to 8 projectors and getting them to all start at the same time with a single Hotkey...

I am able to open as many instances of VLC as I need and drag them onto the projector I want them on and I can make them full screen and use the Hotkey (Space Bar) but it only starts the once instance of VLC that I am on.

Any input on how I can get all 5 instances of VLC that are open on each monitor/projector to all start at the same time by just pressing a single hotkey?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance.

You need to script that with the http interface requests.

It would be a huge help if someone could tell me how to script getting VLC to play all instances that are open with a single hotkey like space bar....
