            I can confirm that this fix DOES work. I installed the newest MM 2.7.1 and the “autostart video” was indeed not working. Many thanks to you, @sdetweil, for saving the day. :thumbsup:

            Here is a screen shot of how the edit should look in case anyone would like a visual.

                    So I’m not sure what’s going on with mine because it won’t autostart. I did all the changes suggested and below is a copy straight out of the MagicMirror/js/electron.js file.

                    I’ve restarted it many times.

                    Before I edited it it had everything there except

                    'autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required'
                    

                    was

                    "autoplay-policy", "no-user-gesture-required"
                    
                    let mainWindow;
                    
                    function createWindow() {
                        app.commandLine.appendSwitch('autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required');  //< -------- added
                            var electronOptionsDefaults = {
                                    width: 800,
                                    height: 600,
                                    x: 0,
                                    y: 0,
                                    darkTheme: true,
                                    webPreferences: {
                                            nodeIntegration: false,
                                            zoomFactor: config.zoom
                                    },
                                    backgroundColor: "#000000"
                            };

                      @Darkmx-6 can you open the developers window, using ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, select the tab labeled console at the top of that window, and scroll up to see any info, or errors…

                      u can also filter for just messages from a single module by putting part of the module name in the filter entryfield

                        Sure, I can do that, but is there a way to do that through the console? To physically access the pi I have to climb a ladder. I’m going to do that now but it would be awesome if I don’t have to next time.
