I'm not sure what the question is?  I may just be missing data due to
unfamiliarity with the structure in question.  Shouldn't you, as the
developer, be able to insert a method into the movie subsystem wrapper
object that takes a command and places it in queue to be processed by
the subprocess' loop?
