Hey guys,
thanks for all your great inspiration.
I got an old 32" TV for free.
Wood isnt my prefered material but i think it looks okay for the first mirror :)

The main problem starts with the end.
The mirror is quiet heavy (8mm | 80 x 53,3 cm) and because i wont holes in it i need to glue them in any way to the case:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/7231/glue-mirror-for-wooden-case

Unfortunately my TV doesnt support HDMI-CEC or anything else that could bring him in standby.
But in the end i do a dirty workaround (black screen) to prevent the to from beeing displayed “no signal” all the time.

The mirror has following specs:

• Berechnung nach EN410 und EN673 Außen Innen
  Lichttransmission 11 %
  Lichtreflexion 42 % 42 %
  Energietransmission 13 %
  Energiereflexion 34 %
  Energieabsorption (1. Scheibe) 53 %
  UV-Transmission 1 %
  g-Wert 25 %
  Farbwiedergabeindex Transmission (Ra) 93
  Farbwiedergabeindex Außenreflexion (Ra) 95

The only remeaning problem is from the MMM-Formula1-Module that doesnt load the data reliable.

Here are the Pics:

Firstly, this looks great. I have a couple of questions. How did you get the mirror to be on the frame? Did you glue it or use some sort of two sided tape? Also; what did you use to hang it on the wall?

“How did you get the mirror to be on the frame?”
As is wrote in the initial post i glue it. Scroll up ;)

“What did you use to hang it on the wall?”
Simple hooks. Like this:

I dont have any other mirrors seen for projects like this. So i cant compare. But for me it looks great.
The pictures are while very bright light taken and the tv is about ~60% brightness setting.

EDIT: for sure they are very heavy. but its okay for me

Thx for reply.
First i used this tape:

Unfortunately my wooden case isnt 100% even so the tape fits only for ~8h before the mirror came back :/
After long research i ordered “Sikaflex 260 N”

For better glue its advisable that the glue is at least 1,5-2,5mm thick. So i used small short distance holders that i removed until it completely hardened.
Works perfect! :)

But if anyone will use this too. Be careful with this glue. Its for industrial designed! Your hands will be very thankfull if you use gloves for work with that. :smirking_face:

@bhepler said in Ghost Overlay / OMXPlayerTransparency:

Video of the ghost in the mirror can be found here: https://youtu.be/6hb1N1tYcPc

As an aside, this morning I changed the command to omxplayer -p -o local --loop --alpha 85 boo.mp4 to cut the sound from the video file. It woke me up when the mirror switched on this morning at 5 AM.

Realy nice solution! Looks awesome!
Could you sum up all the things needed for that?
Reading through this 4 Pages is very difficulty.
Would be very thankful.
