MMM-htmlvideo, Basic video file player

Description:
This module will play a video file on your magicmirror, using the html video tag so the fileformats are limited to what the browser supports.
Use CSS to adjust size, placement etc etc.
Make sure the browser has autoplay enabled since the controls are hidden.Download:

I tried to install this module but when I start my MM2 I get a blank screen, any suggestion?
-
@LeztherRokk lets see your config file
-
@broberg wait, no it was my fault, I did not comment a module I’m working on and still have errors. but yours work great!
-
where can i download this module? thanks :)
-
@domi256 It’s in the first post above.

hello can you help me with your experience? im thinking to use this but have my own content play from my Pi-nas and even though it sounds overkill would making my own intranet possibly with another Pi, be okay in such like module? i understand pc workings but still unsure with linux and mm workings to allow suchlikes or as another suggested just use iframe? thank you
-
Is there anyway to play a video thats stored on the SD card? Mine rasp pi 3 lags when streaming the mp4
-
Yes, I am also trying to find a simple way to play a single mp4 file which is stored on my PI. Anyone has a solution inside a module ??
-
@Sputnik I have had success with file://path/to/you/file.mp4 as the url but it is still choppy when played from the same sd card

Hi, thanks for this great module, and it works well. I have a speical scenario and it will be great if someone can give some tips here (Sorry, I am not a JS programmer…)
Right now, the video is running by default when mm starts. Here is my scenario,
- The video will not run automatically by default so that I can still see other information clearly.
- I can store mutiple videos (let’s assume two videos: 1.mp4 & 2.mp4) in the local Pi directory, and only when there is a certain mqtt message “1” published to the topic, it triggers to play 1.mp4; another message “2” published, triggers 2.mp4.
I am not sure whether there is an easier to achieve that, thanks!

@jabellas You are using a pi and they aren’t really powerhouses when it comes to computing. I would try having the video located off of the pi and try it again.
-
@cowboysdude Yes, thanks. I ended up doing just that. It seemed to me initially counterintuitive that it would play faster from an external location than locally but it is perfectly smooth if I host the video on a separate web server.

I agree with you!! Glad you got it working better :)
