    Well we would need to change MMM-Podcast, to basically play the video always and then maybe show/hide this with MMM-Module-Scheduler.

    Still a custom module might be better here, since we do not want to waste resources, by playing a hidden video all the time, maybe I have time to put something together this weekend.

      @Jopyth How about the helloworld module just to add the needed html tags to display video?
      (Obviously just for testing purposes…)

          Link it up with a PIR sensor with some bluetooth speakers and you could give someone a nasty fright!!

            @rvdgeer Good idea.

            If anyone wants to see how this looks (with a gif it is pretty simple):

            		{
            			module: "helloworld",
            			position: "fullscreen_below",
            			config: {
            				text: "<img src='https://thumbs.gfycat.com/DiscreteDenseCockroach-size_restricted.gif' alt='GIF test' style='position:absolute; top:100%; left:50%; transform: translate(-50%, -100%); width:100%;'>"
            			}
            		},

              I did sudo apt-get install omxplayer and included a video using <video> tags in the helloworld module.
              It works great!

                Markdown is not available from my Android smartphone. I don’t have the correct character available…
                And it’s a little too much to ask, to look-up the character on the web, so I can copy it…

                    @Jopyth Have you had any luck with this mate?

                    I haven’t looked at it for a while, have had a few things going on so haven’t had chance

                      @Mitchfarino did not have the time for it. I will see if I get to it, when I get back from vacation in one week.
