@clakkentt it pops up over MagicMirror screen?

clakkentt

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

Wonder what he is using for his x and y start position in MMM-MPlayer.

windowPosition: { x: 5, y: 5 },

If I remember correctly.

@plainbroke

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

@rkorell I can autohide the taskbar but when it hides, it takes the MPlayer window with it.
