Halloween mirror ghouls anyone?

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!

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.
