MMM-MPlayer

[evroom]

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

I don’t know why but the MPlayer header show up in the latest MMM-MPlayer update, at least in my setup, it does not show up in the previous version. I upgraded and then downgraded.

Hi, could you please sent me the output of

$ ps -eaf | grep mplayer | grep -v grep

for the version that is working?

I am currently busy with a new version, but I messed up a bit by not using a development branch.
Hope to have sorted that out soon.
The new version will have a bit different configuration setting than the old one.

Also refer to
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19539/mmm-mplayer-display-issue
for the issue I am facing (related to what you are seeing with the new version).

you can git stash ,
create/switch to branch, git checkout -b newbranch_name
git stash pop to move the changes to the branch (before commit)

There is a main branch now that contains the original code.
And a dev branch that contains the new code.
The new code needs a different entry in the config.js.

No problem.

I discovered the reason why it happens and am busy with a new version.
Hope to release it soon (first need to solve an issue with recalculating the window position).
Those that are interested can have a look at the README of the dev branch.
