@sdetweil Hello, have you found anything unusual in JavaScript? Thank you

[sdetweil]

@pat59 no… but there have been many changes in the UI and tasking by the OS…

and MMM-RTSPtream has had trouble in the past…
as the background pgm used doesn’t blend well…

maybe try https://github.com/evroom/MMM-MPlayer

@pat59 Again my question: Why doesn’t Magic Mirror start in full screen mode? I think the problem is that neither VLC nor mplayer are inline in the Electron window. They are a separate window. And when you click on the Electron window the player window gets in the background.

[sdetweil]

@KristjanESPERANTO correct, the task keeps getting surfaced even tho the module said background.

Just another fun day in we only changed a few lines of code somewhere (not MagicMirror)

@sdetweil Hello, thank you. I will try it and get back to you. Thank you in advance. Sincerely.

Quick question: I installed MMM-MPlayer. Do I need to disable RTSPstream for the MPlayer module to work?

Thanks

[sdetweil]

@pat59 yes, one or the other

[pat59]

@sdetweil Hello, I installed MPlayer but it doesn’t work; the screen is black.

[pat59]

I uninstalled MPlayer and reinstalled RTSPTream, it works except that I still encounter the same problem

[sdetweil]

@pat59 black screen, what were the messages at MagicMirror startup time?

[pat59]

@sdetweil Good evening, no message, normal startup for the Raspberry Pi, normal startup for MagicMirrorr2, and a black screen, no message.

[sdetweil]

@pat59 can you show the messages

[pat59]

@sdetweil Good evening, there was no message displayed for MPlayer, so I uninstalled it in config.js and reinstalled RTSTseam. Everything is back to normal except that I still have the taskbar displayed. Thank you.

[sdetweil]

@pat59 I know. But if you keep changing we can’t debug what’s going on

There had to be at least one message for bolster in the startup messages.

[pat59]

@sdetweil Hello, yes, I understand perfectly. Excuse me, being a novice, I’m too afraid I won’t be able to get it working again. I’ve put the old module back in. I’m going to try again with MPlayer and will get back to you. Once again, I’m sorry, I’m very attached to my mirror.

[sdetweil]

@pat59 I understand. I suggest using a new separate config file for new individual modules until you get them working

You can use the environment variable to define it

export MM_CONFIG_FILE=config/fribble.js
Or whatever name you choose
Then
npm start
After turning off any pm2 instance
Then you haven’t touched your good config
Can stop any time, have only one module of output to deal with

Once all good, you copy this one module def to your good config
