@ge You might try MMM-GmailFeed, it allows sound when mail arrives. Just set it to playSound: true, Not sure what that sound is, because I have no speakers on my MM.

@ge I’ve reworked the MMM-RTSPstream module and tried mpv, mplayer and vlc for displaying rtsp-streams from Reolink cameras. Maybe the following command line options are also suitable for your camera. const environ = Object.assign(process.env, { DISPLAY: ":0" }) var opts = { detached: true, env: environ } if (this.player === 'mpv') { // Define the MPV command line flags var args = [`${this.streams[stream].url}`, "--geometry="+this.windowWidth+"+"+this.windowX+"+"+this.windowY, "--ontop", "--title-bar=no", "--border=no", "--vo=gpu", // "--hwdec=drm", "--gpu-context=x11vk", "--ao=null", ] } else if (this.player === 'mplayer') { // Define the Mplayer command line flags var args = [`${this.streams[stream].url}`, "-geometry", `${this.windowX}:${this.windowY}`, "-xy", `${this.windowWidth}`, "-noborder", "-nosound", "-nolirc", "-vo", "xv,gl,gl_nosw,vdpau", "-prefer-ipv4", "-cache", "8192", "-rtsp-stream-over-tcp", "-noconsolecontrols", "-really-quiet", ] } else if (this.player === 'vlc') { // Generate the VLC window var args = ["-I dummy", "--video-on-top", "--no-video-deco", "--no-osd", "--no-embedded-video", "--no-audio", //"--no-video-title-show", //"--network-caching=1000", `${this.streams[stream].url}` ] }

Your issue is that VLC on the Pi 4 renders video in a separate window by default, ignoring the MagicMirror module position. To fix it, set pixel dimensions instead of percentages and add localPlayerArgs: ‘–no-video-on-top --width=640 --height=360’ so VLC respects the module container. Example: position: "top_center", moduleWidth: 640, moduleHeight: 360, localPlayer: 'vlc', localPlayerArgs: '--no-video-on-top --width=640 --height=360'
