@sdetweil
Wonder what he is using for his x and y start position in MMM-MPlayer.windowPosition: { x: 5, y: 5 },If I remember correctly.

No, I have the window in the middle of the screen, something like x: 450, y: 100

@clakkentt I’m having the same issues on my rpi4. How did you hide the taskbar?
-
Also, I have 2 windows, one RTSP stream from Frigate in each, but there is a lot of extra space between them and above the first window. Would also like to get rid of the MPLAYER header if possible.

Good morning,
I did have this taskbar issue suddenly appearing as I upgraded to a larger monitor. Caused by this I increased the screen resolution.
After this I had the annoying taskbar appearing more or less randomly.
Played a lot with colors/height/position of the taskbar …
And while playing around I found an option in screen-config tool.
For some (really strange) reasons it seems that this setting is dependent on screen resolution !?
So it’s may worth a trial to stop your MagicMirror so that you can see the native Pi-OS screen and find the screen config tool - there you should be able to hide the taskbar as well …Good luck!
Regards,Ralf

@rkorell I can autohide the taskbar but when it hides, it takes the MPlayer window with it.
-
@hrmax23 O.K., never experienced this.
But in my installation I rarely use MMM-MPlayer (it’s configured to have a look at my 3D-printer which seldomly is necessary), so I enable MPlayer module only if needed…Sorry, than I do not know…

When I tested the module, I used a Pi 3b connected to a 4K monitor and it was working okay.
After reading about the MPlayer window, that appears in the center, I decided to test again.
And to my surprise I have the same issue.It seems that MPlayer is ignoring the window position defined by the module.
The GUI screen resolution is set to 1920x1080 @60Hz.
Both xrandr and wlr-randr reflect this.On my Pi 4b, connected to a 1600x900 monitor, I do not have this issue.
I did do an update & upgrade of Debian before looking at the issue, so it can be that something ‘broke’ the module.
But then again I updated both Pis and only one has this issue.I will try to connect the 1600x900 monitor to the Pi 3b, so see if it is a monitor thing.
All in all very odd.

Sorry I just got notified of your reply.I set the taskbar height to 0 and autohide. I don’t remember the exact steps I took
