      Any idea how I can move the video feed to fit the red border frame and, do not cover the complimentary wordings?

      I would try this:

      Change the config.js:

      :
      :
      moduleWidth: 468,
      moduleHeight: 253,
      :
      :
              width: 450,
              height: 253,
      

      Change the MMM-RTSPStream.css:

      width: 468px; /* Video width + 2*border + 2*padding */
      height: 253px;
      

      MagicMirror version: 2.30.0
      Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5 (8 GB RAM)
      Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

      Test environment:
      MagicMirror version: v2.30.0
      Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3 (1 GB RAM)
      Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

        Change the MMM-RTSPStream.css:

        width: 468px; /* Video width + 2*border + 2*padding */
        height: 253px;
        

        So I followed what you recommended: width 468 and height 253. The result is still the same: The red border frame is perfectly aligned with the right size of the screen (in bottom-right setup). But the live video stream window (468x253) is located more to the “left” and higher than the red frame
        This thing really drives me nuts…gr.gr…gr…

          So if the video area matches the module area (the red border in this moment) then it is okay for you?

          Could you still till try this?

          „Could you briefly test it with width and height commented out ?“

            I tried to comment out the W & H, it still did the same issue. I restart the Raspberry and re-install the module, it gets better a bit: Now the right-edge of the stream video is aligned with the weather module, which is what I want to. However, the stream module is still off compare to the red border frame. But I guess it is the best it could get so I set the border to “0” (no border any more). And it is now the closest that I could get!

            One last thing I want to ask you as well: How do I increase the size of the fonts used in the MM? Which lines of code in the “main.css” of the MagicMirror should I look at? My purpose is I want to make the text in the clock, weather, calendar appear bigger a little bit so that we can all see those info from a few feet away.

            Thank you very much for your patience and helps, I really appreciated it.

              Actually I was interested in the --win coordinates from the pm2 log in this case.
              If the same, then it means that uncommented is right and the values are being taken from the config.js parameters.
              It looks it can be uncommented.

              One last suggestion:

              Either in the MM-RTSPStream.css or your /home/pi/MagicMirror/css/custom.css:

              .MMM-RTSPStream .innerWrapper {
                position: relative;
                width: 468px; /* Video width + 18px
                height: 253px;
                border-style: none;
                display: inline-block;
                text-align: center;
              }
              

              Regarding

              How do I increase the size of the fonts used in the MM?
              you will have to ask this in a separate topic.
              Best is to change things in the custom.css.
              I only made changes regarding the width of some regions.

                  Some tips/improvements.

                  I’ve disabled the sound in the omx-stream by adding the arguments “-n”,“-1”, in the node_helper.js

                   payload.forEach(s => {
                              var args = ["--live", "--video_queue", "4", "--fps", "30","-n","-1",
                                  this.config[s.name].url
                              ];
                  
                  

                  I had problems with the omx-streams (i have three) not restarting correctly. So instead of stopping the processes and then starting, i’ve changed the command to restart.

                                  for (var proc in list) {
                                      if ("name" in list[proc] && namesM.indexOf(list[proc].name) > -1) {
                                          if ("status" in list[proc].pm2_env && list[proc].pm2_env.status === "online") {
                                              console.log(`PM2: ${list[proc].name} already running. Stopping old instance...`);
                  //                            pm2.stop(list[proc].name, errCB);
                                              pm2.restart(list[proc].name, errCB);
                                          }
                                      }
                                  }

                      I have RTSP enabled on my Wyze camera, but nothing displays with this module. The URL it provides is in the format:
                      rtsp://USER:PASSWORD@ADDRESS/live

                      I noticed that it doesn’t provide the actual file extension such as .mov so I’m wondering if that’s preventing this from working for me.

                        Can you try this ?

                        $ omxplayer --avdict rtsp_transport:tcp --live --video_queue 4 --fps 30 --win "0 0 480 320" rtsp://USER:PASSWORD@ADDRESS/live
                        

                        To see if it works standalone.

                        I forgot if a license is needed for the camera stream, but to know if a license is present:

                        $ vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2
