MMM-MPlayer

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?
-
@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
-
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!

Just a comment
I am using MagicMirror on a pi using bullseye 32bit.
When using a rpi4 everything works fine. When I transfer the sd card to a rpi3 every time the MPlayer shows a live feed the desktop taskbar shows up, when MPlayer is switching between feeds the taskbar is not visible.
This is probably due to my specific choice of settings but just thought it might help someone.

@clakkentt if you use my backup/restore to capture your MM config
and build a new card ON the pi3, and install MM and restore the config
do you see the same problem?backup/restore here https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore
install/upgrade here https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

@sdetweil
Yes the problem is the same. I initially had MM running on a rpi3, when I installed MMM-MPlayer, I noticed the taskbar showing every time there was a feed showing.
I started from scratch on an rpi4 and saw no problem but when I transferred the card to the rpi3 the issue came up again.Since I wanted to keep using the rpi3 for the MagicMirror I solved the problem by making the taskbar 0 pixels in height.

@clakkentt what do you mean by taskbar?
-
The desktop taskbar. On the raspberry the bar at the top of the screen.
-
@clakkentt it pops up over MagicMirror screen?
-
Yes, when the MPlayer RTSP stream is running
