      Hello,

      First post, please accept my apologies if I get any of the terms incorrect.

      I am trying to find a module that would allow me to run a video or gifs on the desktop background along with other widgets?

      I am trying to create a blade runner/cyberpunk advert feel to the magic mirror and i cannot for the life of me find anything online that would allow me to create a custom animated wallpaper with specific dimensions for each video/gif.

      Does anyone know how i can accomplish this?

      Many thanks in advance !

        You could try this module. https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-EasyBack

        It will play local video on your background as well as animated gifs or even youtube videos

            You’re welcome, mate. 👍

            Can I ask what hardware you’re using to run MM? Just curious.

              Hi there,

              I have aquestion regarding the size of a GIF. The GIF I am using has a size of 500*375. My screen has a resolution of 1920x1080. The gif image is not centered on the screen but fill out the whole screen. Any idea what I could do to center the gif?

              Thanks

              Juergen
