Okay, this CSS should work for you. I've marked all the important items. But before we get to that, lets look at what was wrong. This is what you had:
#video_container video {position: absolute; top: 0;}
#video_player figcaption {width: 25%;}
The position, and its top, code were overriding all forms of hiding the playlist. Even if #video_player figcaption was set to display: none; or visibility: hidden; this had no effect on hiding the playlist because of width: 25%;. The width was overriding the display/visibility, which we all know that display: none; should override everything. But the width was still visible because position: absolute; from #video_container video said "I don't care what everything else says, you're staying put". These things have been fixed. The correct CSS to use is below.
#video_player {display: table;
margin: auto;
background: #000000;
width: 500px; /*The space you want occupied.*/
}
#video_container {position: relative;}
#video_player div, #video_player figcaption {display: table-cell; vertical-align: top;}
#video_container video {display: block;
width: 100%; /*How big you want the video to be.*/
height: ---; /*Whatever you want*/
/*width: 350px;*/ /*Use with visible playlist.*/
/*height: 100%;*/ /*Use with visible playlist.*/
}
#video_player figcaption {display: none; /*Hides the playlist from view.*/
}
#video_player figcaption a {display: block; opacity: .3; transition: 1s opacity;}
#video_player figcaption a img {width: 100%;}
#video_player figcaption a.currentvid, #video_player figcaption a:hover, #video_player figcaption a:focus {opacity: 1;}

New Post: To hide the current video, look at #video_player figcaption a.currentvid ... a:focus. Change opacity: 1; to opacity: 0;, add visibility: hidden; (which will hide the area, but not remove the space that it occupies), or add display: none; (which is the best solution). If you want to have the playlist appear on several pages, then make sure to place class="currentvid" in the correct <a> each time.
Old Post: You need to add display: none; or display: none !important; to #video_container. The problem is that you might. To have display: none; work correctly, move #video_container below #video_container video. If you want everything to stay where it is, then use display: none !important;` which will override everything else and hide your video.
#video_container {
position: relative;
display: none !important;
}
