Playing a local mp4 file as a module

@ramez Thx a lot.
I’ll play with that later today and let you know.
Just to let you know I am building the smart mirror in order to have it as an Advertisement mirror and I would like to trigger by myself some video through a remote or button on it.
I’ll try your recommandations and let you know where I land :-)

Ha! Great!

Isn’t there already at least one video player module out?
Can’t you use that one for your purpose.
Have a look into the 3rd party modules section at the MM github site.

@sputnik

Are you wanting something to play a single mp4 file or several (like in a playlist) or to be given a choice to play from of a list of files stored in a local directory?

My target is having like 5 files and 1 button per file to launch each of them.
I want mirror to diplay a video when I click on a remote then back to normal state (no video / minimal display) then click again (on another button for example) and the other video launch.
The mirror is to be used on a shop like a haircut
