    Ha! Great!

    Isn’t there already at least one video player module out?
    Can’t you use that one for your purpose.
    Have a look into the 3rd party modules section at the MM github site.

        Are you wanting something to play a single mp4 file or several (like in a playlist) or to be given a choice to play from of a list of files stored in a local directory?

          My target is having like 5 files and 1 button per file to launch each of them.
          I want mirror to diplay a video when I click on a remote then back to normal state (no video / minimal display) then click again (on another button for example) and the other video launch.
          The mirror is to be used on a shop like a haircut

            I think I can work out something. might take me a few days to get it done, but I should be able to come up with something.

              Are one of these modules that you are planning to use for the buttons?

                      Just making sure I’m on the same page as you…

                      You are wanting to use a button for each video on your Raspi which would mean you are going to have 5 buttons conected to the Raspi?

                      And, you are not wanting clickable buttons on the screen?

                      are you going to have a keyboard connected to your Raspi?
