Added some new stuff in v0.2. See first post… :)

Hi!
Try one of these:

https://github.com/martinmeinke/MMM-display-text-file
https://github.com/SkogDev/MMM-Text

Depending on how you want it… :)

@feigi Hmm… I found that I had forgotten a comma in the example configs… But It looks like you have that comma in your config. I tried it on a “clean” install (on both development and master branch) and with your config and it works. What does the log say? (pm2 log).

@feigi Hmm… I’ll have to test on my test rig tomorrow, maybe something is broken… What are you running on? I have not tried it on a RPi, so I don’t know if the Pi can handle the video-tag correctly… Is there anyone else here who can test it on a Pi? :)

Hi, I had the same issue when I built my mirror… Here is how I solved it. Made a .sh script with all the information: :)

#!/bin/bash

# Before I just tested with the xinput command directly in the autostart file, but that did not work. So now instead I just created a script called xin.sh.
# nano ~/xin.sh
# Then added
# DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop "Multi touch Multi touch overlay device" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1
# There should actually be 3 spaces between “Multi touch” and “Multi touch overlay device”. For some reason the board removes the extra spaces here.
#
# You can actually find the “name” of the device with this command form a console: DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput list
# Shows something like this:
#
# Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
#   Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
#   Multi touch Multi touch overlay device id=6 [slave pointer (2)]
# Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
# Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
#
# Depending on what you have connected to your RPi. 🙂
# 
# So, after creating the xin.sh I added that to the autostart file for LXDE:
# Like this:
# nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
# Added at the end of the file.
# @/home/pi/xin.sh
# Restarted and it works.
#
DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop "Multi touch   Multi touch overlay device" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1

Maybe you guys can use it some how? :)

Description:

This Module adds a video player in any of the regions, you define what files to play.

Screenshots:

Simple video showing the module when playing a video and whats happen when hiding / showing it.

Custom-CSS

If you want to change the size of the player.

.MMM-Videoplayer video {
    width: 1080px;
    height: 1920px;
}

Tip:
Let’s say run the module in “fullscreen_below” and have a mirror in portrate mode (as in the CSS example above). You many want to turn the player 90 degrees…
Then set the CSS to:

.MMM-Videoplayer video {
    width: 1080px;
    height: 1920px;
    -moz-transform:rotate(90deg);
    -webkit-transform:rotate(90deg);
    -o-transform:rotate(90deg);
    -ms-transform:rotate(90deg);
    transform:rotate(90deg);
}

Normally you just need to add the line:

    transform:rotate(90deg);

But for comparability reasons, you can add all of them. :)

And, as you will probably notice with the above CSS code. The video player will not really “fill” the whole background when you turn it 90 degrees. So, then you need to to this:

.MMM-Videoplayer video {
    position: absolute;
    transform:rotate(90deg);
    transform-origin: bottom left;
    width: 100vh;
    height: 100vw;
    margin-top: -100vw;
    object-fit: cover;
}

Also, if you have other stuff in the same region (in my case “fullscreen_below”), it’s a good idea to add the video module before any other module in the same region in the config, Then when you actually display the video module it pops up “on top of” all other stuff. :)

Version 0.4

• Added “hideonstart” - If set to true, the player will hide it self when a clip is loaded (and just started playing (clip will be paused when the player is hidden)). Then when the player is shown again it will continue play the clip and hide itself again when the next clip is loaded (and just starts playing) and so on…

Version 0.3

• Added more “notification” commands (“REPLAY” and “NEXT”).
• Also fixed so all videos will be played when in radom, before a video is played again (if in loop mode).

Version 0.2

• Added a video list option (you can define multiple video files).
• Added a option to “randomize” the videos played from the list.

Version 0.1

• Initial release.

@gaudouy Hi, no, it can only show and hide one/ or multiple instances of the same type of module on one button, but not two different types of modules on one button.

Added a video (two years later): https://youtu.be/2Hi9IDfrqPQ
The Mirror is used daily and I have upgraded from a RPi 3 to a NUC instead to get more CPU-Power to play with. :)

@sdetweil Thanks! :)

I could not find a “good enough” Home Assistant Module for the Mirror, so I forked and developed a bit on the one I thought worked the best.

Description:

Adds the defined Home Assistant Sensors to your Magic Mirror.

Simplest possible:

Different pictures depending on values from the sensors (with some modified CSS):

And here is my personal advanced “look”… :)
