              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,

                  1. The video will not run automatically by default so that I can still see other information clearly.
                  2. 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.

                        I agree with you!! Glad you got it working better :)
