@evroom Nice! 🚀 Please add it to the module list 🙂

Done.

@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.

@evroom thanks for that. glad its of use to someone 😊

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.

@evroom

i didnt use this guide to do it, but this is how i rotated my screen.

https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-rotate-your-raspberry-pi-screen-without-moving-the-display/

I am running the latest version of raspbian on my pi3

this results in my magicmirror instance loading in portrait mode, and my 16x9 streams loading properly where i want them without having to do any CSS rotation.

@Cr4z33 no idea but couldn’t get RTSP streams to work.

HI, im running my MM on on Proxmox VM and pointing my display to IP on VM, when i try to run Mplayer it just displays black box but no feed, i doo see the feed on the server VM. any ideas how to get this playing on my remote display?

[sdetweil]

@Guku did you expose that port on the vm to another connecting host?
maybe a firewall filter?

I don’t use proxmox, but I see this on windows VM’s all the time

@sdetweil

thanks for checking in with me, i gave up on the player since even when i ran it localy on my VM the camera feed was delayed by about 5sec which defeted the pourpose. thanks anyways!
