Hello

i want to disable kde night color before using vlc and enable night color after.

I defined a shortcut Alt_n in kwin for "toggle night color"

I wrote this script

/usr/bin/xdotool Alt+n /usr/bin/vlc /usr/bin/xdotool Alt+n

Mostly of the time the first command xdotool has no effect. Rarely the second command xdotool has no effect.

Try putting a line sleep 2 after the first 2 commands. If it works, reduce the numeric argument in steps - it will take decimal fraction arguments like 0.2 - until you find the minimum. Then maybe double it to allow for variation in load.
