MMM-MPlayer
-
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
-
I don’t know if this is the cause but I am using vcgencmd to turn the display off and on and to do that I had to disable vc4-kms-v3d
-
@clakkentt crazy. i don’t know either

@sdetweil
Wonder what he is using for his x and y start position in MMM-MPlayer.windowPosition: { x: 5, y: 5 },If I remember correctly.

No, I have the window in the middle of the screen, something like x: 450, y: 100
-
@clakkentt I’m having the same issues on my rpi4. How did you hide the taskbar?
-
Also, I have 2 windows, one RTSP stream from Frigate in each, but there is a lot of extra space between them and above the first window. Would also like to get rid of the MPLAYER header if possible.

Good morning,
I did have this taskbar issue suddenly appearing as I upgraded to a larger monitor. Caused by this I increased the screen resolution.
After this I had the annoying taskbar appearing more or less randomly.
Played a lot with colors/height/position of the taskbar …
And while playing around I found an option in screen-config tool.
For some (really strange) reasons it seems that this setting is dependent on screen resolution !?
So it’s may worth a trial to stop your MagicMirror so that you can see the native Pi-OS screen and find the screen config tool - there you should be able to hide the taskbar as well …Good luck!
Regards,Ralf
