This is really my first module, Decided to make it public because I could see others using it.
For a while now, I’ve been using OMXPlayer as an external operation, as the video players are much more stable outside of MagicMirror for some reason. I’ve needed a blank area of the screen to allow a space for the video player to roam, but wanted a module to use the area directly below it.
Here’s my solution. All it does is provide a blank area in a region, defined in pixels (px). That’s it.
Simple, quick, easy. No CSS. No Mess. No Screenshot, as it’s a blank area. :)
Installation
Clone this repository in your ~/MagicMirror/modules/ folder ( $ cd ~MagicMirror/modules/ ):
git clone https://github.com/BKeyport/MMM-Block.git
Using the module
To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file next to the module you’d like to move
(Above the module if you want to move a module DOWN, below the module if you wanna move the module UP)
{
module: 'MMM-Block',
position: "top_right",
config: {
height: 600,
}
},
The only config option is “height” - as seen above. Set it to the pixels (px) you’d like to move an item.
