@broberg wait, no it was my fault, I did not comment a module I’m working on and still have errors. but yours work great!
-
where can i download this module? thanks :)
-
@domi256 It’s in the first post above.

hello can you help me with your experience? im thinking to use this but have my own content play from my Pi-nas and even though it sounds overkill would making my own intranet possibly with another Pi, be okay in such like module? i understand pc workings but still unsure with linux and mm workings to allow suchlikes or as another suggested just use iframe? thank you

Is there anyway to play a video thats stored on the SD card? Mine rasp pi 3 lags when streaming the mp4
-
Yes, I am also trying to find a simple way to play a single mp4 file which is stored on my PI. Anyone has a solution inside a module ??
-
@Sputnik I have had success with file://path/to/you/file.mp4 as the url but it is still choppy when played from the same sd card

Hi, thanks for this great module, and it works well. I have a speical scenario and it will be great if someone can give some tips here (Sorry, I am not a JS programmer…)
Right now, the video is running by default when mm starts. Here is my scenario,
- The video will not run automatically by default so that I can still see other information clearly.
- I can store mutiple videos (let’s assume two videos: 1.mp4 & 2.mp4) in the local Pi directory, and only when there is a certain mqtt message “1” published to the topic, it triggers to play 1.mp4; another message “2” published, triggers 2.mp4.
I am not sure whether there is an easier to achieve that, thanks!

@jabellas You are using a pi and they aren’t really powerhouses when it comes to computing. I would try having the video located off of the pi and try it again.
-
@cowboysdude Yes, thanks. I ended up doing just that. It seemed to me initially counterintuitive that it would play faster from an external location than locally but it is perfectly smooth if I host the video on a separate web server.
