@johnnyboy Hi, do you know how to set the moving text (Titel / Artist) in a static text?
my fan of my Mac mini go’s up when something is moving on my screen

Sorry, no.
Since you said it was hard coded, I never bothered to play about with it.
but I turned on Mirror the other day and it is not showing anymore, so will need to find time to perhaps download it again.

Hi there Guys,
Couple of questions ifI can?

How do Idisable the interface, in order to play a video file full / partial screen, but still retaining the black background within MM… if this is how to do ithe following-----

bhelper posted in Show your Mirror, where he uses a Halloween MP4 on a loop, and he disabled the interface firstly…I’m assuming he disabled all the Modules and retained the black background?

also, would any Player work in this scenario, or will I need a specific player?

I have not done this sorta thing on MM before, so all a bit new to the setup.

Thanks

@bhepler
Really loving that … A lot!

Couple questions…

How did you disable the interface to be able to show this on it’s own? Is it still playing on MM, but with everything else stopped?

Video File?.. where did you store it and what player did you use? What is the name of the first one?

Did the player give the loop option?

Is this very CPU intensive, seeing that you disabled the MM interface?
Thanks 😉

Thanks… but I managed to zoom it back down to a near enough size that it was the other week.
But unsure why this has happened on it’s own, with nobody touching anything.

And unsure as to why, even after zooming back out, that the font looks weirdly, slightly blurred… not as crisp clean as it once was.

On the Pi itself, there is a setting in Desktop prefs for Large - Medium - Small screens… to revert to Default… so tried that, for small screen, and no change in blurryness… the other 2 settings obviously enlarge things…

Soooooop, in other words - “revert to default” (what it looked like last week) does not revert it back to what it was… which is what I want… no blurry font… mods perfectly placed as I had them… and looking crisp and sharp as it did.

Gremlins at work?

Mirror not been on for over a week, just turned it on and everything was in zoom mode… MM screen, and the actual Pi desktop when I minimised MM to see if it was just MM on it’s own… so thinking this is a Pi setting??? But cannot see anything that can fix this.

Went into File, on top bar ( That bar was Huge, as was mouse pointer ) and used Zoom Out… until it looked like it was over a week ago… but it just don’t look right!
The font is kinda blurry… not a lot but you can def see ghosting as if it was blurry… not as clear as it should be. This is both MM screen and Desktop.

Anyone help me out with what could have went wrong here, and how to get it back looking proper?

I have switched it off, then on… still not looking right… reloaded… still not looking right.

No one was here to touch anything, monitor has been off but Pi still running, so i’m stumped as to why this has even happened, so I could at least have an idea of where to look for a fix.

@johnnyboy I have bottom left and it worked well …
I think this is hard coded…i don’t know how to do some changes sorry

Thanks
Yeah I changed to bottom left and it showed… it must have a problem with bottom centre?

I then had to move it to bottom right as another module above got in the way and covered part of it, so it works there too.

But hey, it works, and works great… even without any bells and whistles.

Thanks for your time letting me know about this one. …

@sdetweil

Ahhhh… right… I will defo be giving that a look.
As you say, saves me playing around trying things in CSS and reloading mirror each time before I see if CSS worked or not… very time consuming!

Thanks again Sam… appreciate all your help.

@johnnyboy

Okay, playing around trying various combo’s, I managed this… Top one is the Header, and bottom one is the Title… Not sure why title is named as such, but?

Header is what I named as ‘‘Smart Home’’
Title is what it is named by default underneath for doors and locks.

Now, how can I name the actual items underneath? the list it compiles of my smartthings items here that was imported with the Token from Smartthings?

  }
  .MMM-Smartthings header {
  font-size: 20px;
  color: blue;
border-bottom: 2px solid blue;
}
.MMM-Smartthings {
font-size: 20px;
color: solid blue;
}

Hi Guys

I added MMM-Smartthings module to top-left… and because I have quite a lot of Smartthings items, it has produced a long list that goes all the way down the left side of my screen - covering parts of Compliments - Lower 3rd… and NewsFeed - bottom bar.

The font size is slightly larger than what I have on my callender, so wondered if reducing font size will help pull up the list? Or would this be padding or frame I need to reduce?

I also wanted to color the text on the Header, and make the Header, and bar underneath it, stand out more by size, and maybe, depending on how it looks, to have my Smartthings list colored too?

Below is what I think needs doing, but no doubt not written correctly? As Last time I did CSS on MM was a couple years back, so I’m a bit rusty, and I just tried this and it did not alter anything… So, im missing something?

Can someone help out with which bits need added to these? Or If I need to do something else to reduce length of list.

.MMM-Smartthings-Module header {
  font-size: 20px;
  color: blue;
border-bottom: blue
}

.MMM-Smartthings {
font-size: 15px;
color: blue
}

@sdetweil
For sure I was’nt knocking him… I just followed what it said - to enter that block into Config…
I’m very much a novice in this, so I just enter what I see, or be told to by members, who know far more than I… but I did say at opening post that I was unsure if there should be so many brackets at the end…

But yeah, it works brilliantly… although I have quite a lot of Smartthings items… so the list goes all down the entire side of the screen, covering Compliments - Lower 3rd, and news feed - bottom bar. … so will need to make another post to find out how to reduce the font size using CSS.

Thanks again Sam… you have helped restore my interest in MM again, with your help on several of my posts.
