I don’t feel like actually uploading it to github, but here is the source code, and an example config.

I took the liberty to take the provided code, make changes to it and make it available as a public repository:

https://github.com/evroom/MMM-MPlayer

My own main purpose for using it, is to setup a new Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi 4 Model B), with Debian 12 (bookworm) and the latest MM version (2.30.0).
Replacing a Pi 3b 32-bit Debian 10 buster setup where OMXPlayer is still working.
I will be using a single window with a single RTSP stream (for an Axis Network Camera).
Nothing fancy.

Best regards,

E.J.

@evroom you are 100% correct regarding item #1, the streamInterval is for when multiple streams are defined, it will switch between the available streams.

regarding #2 on my pi i didnt have to rotate the mplayer orientation, but i adjusted the output of my pi to portrait and everything behaved but ymmv depending on how it’s setup.

I couldnt get the EXT-FreeboxTV module to work on my magic mirror

Out of curiosity what was the issue with it?

I use that module all the time to watch the TV channels of my Enigma2 decoder.

Could you please tell me how you do the general rotation to portrait ?

I use the custom.css to get it rotated clockwise.
As MPlayer is an overlay, like OMXPlayer, it is not affected by this.

body {
:
:
  transform: rotate(-90deg);
  transform-origin: top left;
  width: 100vh;
  height: 100vw;
:
:
 }

But of course there are more, potential better, ways of getting it rotated.
