      @kasperb @eugekiller as said @yawns, you need config only the URL not html code for iframe tag.

        @yawns said in Display web widget on mirror through iFrame?:

        {
        module: ‘iFrame’,
        position: ‘bottom_bar’, // This can be any of the regions.
        config: {
        // See ‘Configuration options’ for more information.
        url: “https://www.youtube.com/embed/6kgH6kqNuWM?list=PL24DEF584E7DBB4CF”,
        width: “50px”, // Optional. Default: 100%
        height: “50px”, //Optional. Default: 100px
        }
        },

        Thanks that did it :). But one question any way to make it auto play?
        Right now it loads it but i have to use the mouse to hit play on it.

          Well, autoplay is a option of Youtube,

          Add autoplay=1 to url

                I am able to get iFrame to display a widget and it works well, the the widget is not updated. Is there a way to force an update every 15 min or so?

                Thanks, Mitch

                  @Mitch1138 There no way to force update using iFrame. Its a something is possible add a option for autorefresh. I think will not difficult added. Why do you no try?

                      @Mitch1138 as a hint, check how other modules update their content.

                      Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                        Thanks for the tip, but I didn’t have a lot of success. I punted and installed Auto Refresh Plus extension in Chrome. Running in server mode I can use this to refresh the page on a predefined time cycle.
