MMM-MPlayer

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

@rkorell I can autohide the taskbar but when it hides, it takes the MPlayer window with it.
-
@hrmax23 O.K., never experienced this.
But in my installation I rarely use MMM-MPlayer (it’s configured to have a look at my 3D-printer which seldomly is necessary), so I enable MPlayer module only if needed…Sorry, than I do not know…

When I tested the module, I used a Pi 3b connected to a 4K monitor and it was working okay.
After reading about the MPlayer window, that appears in the center, I decided to test again.
And to my surprise I have the same issue.It seems that MPlayer is ignoring the window position defined by the module.
The GUI screen resolution is set to 1920x1080 @60Hz.
Both xrandr and wlr-randr reflect this.On my Pi 4b, connected to a 1600x900 monitor, I do not have this issue.
I did do an update & upgrade of Debian before looking at the issue, so it can be that something ‘broke’ the module.
But then again I updated both Pis and only one has this issue.I will try to connect the 1600x900 monitor to the Pi 3b, so see if it is a monitor thing.
All in all very odd.

Sorry I just got notified of your reply.I set the taskbar height to 0 and autohide. I don’t remember the exact steps I took

@hrmax23
I don’t know why but the MPlayer header show up in the latest MMM-MPlayer update, at least in my setup, it does not show up in the previous version. I upgraded and then downgraded. -

$ ps -eaf | grep mplayer | grep -v grepfor the version that is working?
I am currently busy with a new version, but I messed up a bit by not using a development branch.
Hope to have sorted that out soon.
The new version will have a bit different configuration setting than the old one.Also refer to
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19539/mmm-mplayer-display-issue
for the issue I am facing (related to what you are seeing with the new version). -

you can git stash ,
create/switch to branch, git checkout -b newbranch_name
git stash pop to move the changes to the branch (before commit) -
There is a main branch now that contains the original code.
And a dev branch that contains the new code.
The new code needs a different entry in the config.js. -

Sorry for the delay in replying, I don’t get e-mail notices when someone replies to my posts.No problem.
I discovered the reason why it happens and am busy with a new version.
Hope to release it soon (first need to solve an issue with recalculating the window position).
Those that are interested can have a look at the README of the dev branch. -
