I’d support trying VLC over OMXPlayer - OMXPlayer barely works - and crashes so much, I had to switch to FFMpeg(?) – and even that crashes on my Pi 3+

@sdetweil so, then because I have to use the following:

body {
margin: 0px;
height: calc(100vh - 10px);
width: calc(100vw - 5px);
}

am I correct in assuming that magicmirror sees the screen a few pixels bigger than it really is - and that’s being expressed by running off the right and bottom of the screen when I don’t have the 10px subtract from height, and the 5px subtract from width?

This is the part that’s getting me…

width: calc(100vh - var(–body-margin) * 2);
height: calc(100vw - var(–body-margin) * 2);

If I’m reading this correctly - it’s taking the calculation of 100% of the viewpoint(direction) - the margin defined in the varible multiplied by 2?

100% of the viewport height minus 40 pixels in your example?

@sean Can you explain your body code a bit? I’m not quite following it.

@michael5r Actually, if I don’t subtract, the margins run clear off the right side and bottom of the screen, using the official 7" touchscreen, those subtractions bring it back to 100%

God, what an annoying video. Echo and loudness had me turning it off in 30 seconds or less.

Yeah, just something I can’t figure out for now. Thanks anyway. I’ll disable it and put it on my “maybe to do later” list.

It’s showing for me, @j-e-f-f

dang. For some reason, that brings it even tighter to the edges than %. Weird.

I highly recommend the following for use on the official 7" touchscreen display. Gets you the maximum screen usage.

(I have a mini-display magic mirror for work.) :)

body {
margin: 0px;
height: calc(100vh - 10px);
width: calc(100vw - 5px);
}

@strawberry-3-141 Just found this, bless you. Should be in the magic mirror documentation.
