@justjim1220 You are right. No clickable button on screen. My preference is physical button on GPIO or bluetooth remote if simple.

g 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

@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 :-)

@ramez I am noob on magic mirror
I am trying to set up something simple for my wife to use (WAF) but I can go deeper on the config
Any pointer really apreciated

a module.
I used the existing config.js file and placed the mp4 in the same folder on my Raspberry Pi3. Is it possible to include just a player command within an existing module e.g. Alerts or Compliments ot see the video ?
Or do I need to create an entirely new module for this purpose, if Ye

Did you find a solution ?
