    @alexmann that didn’t answer the question.

    does the whole command you have in the recipe work

    vlc -f file:///home/MagicMirror/video1.mp4
    

    or the cvlc command as it suggests

        @alexmann ok, then you have to work on the front side making sure the voice phrase is recognized

        Jarvis (or whatever hot word you picked)
        “I’m back home”

        words with contractions (“I’m”) are particularly hard to match

        start w something simple, “play video”

          Well, Finally worked, :)
          here is my recipe for others to try

          var recipe = {
              transcriptionHooks: {
                  "imBackHome": {
                      pattern: "I am back home",
                      command: "playVideo"
                  }
              },
          
              commands: {
                  "playVideo": {
                      shellExec: {
                      exec: "vlc --play-and-exit -f /path_to_file/modules/recipe/video1.mp4",
                          // This command will play the video using VLC.
                      }
                  }
              }
          };
          
          exports.recipe = recipe;
          
          

          If you want the vlc to just play the video without exiting, just remove " --play-and-exit".

          Happy mirroring,
