      @johnnyboy It’s not advance enough to handle live streams as we hoped, the html video is limited to what the browser can play, so for Chrome that is H.264 in MP4, Theora and Vorbis in Ogg, and VP8 and Vorbis in WebM (source : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats)

      You can play files from anywhere, no restrictions as long as it is a file and not a live stream (that requires m3u8 or similar)

      You can place the module anywhere and use css to set the size of the videoclip.

          @johnnyboy as long as the MM2 browser can play it then yes, other than the formats listed in the link I don’t know, you have to try it and see.

            @broberg I have a MP4 video saved on the Pi, I configured the ‘VideoSRC’ with the path of the video and it wouldn’t play, is it due to it only being able to play html videos from the web?
            Cheers,
            -Tony

                @johnnyboy Yes, I understand. Thanks a lot mate! Daptly is quite steep for what it is and I live in one of the most expensive cities in the world (whenever that was last surveyed)

                    @johnnyboy I like the idea of what you proposed. I was thinking I’m currently running the MM on a Pi2 if I were to purchase a Pi3 (which has a substantial increase in power) could it run MM with 3rd party modules with more stability then it would on the Pi2?
