Video background Stops lopping #1

Open zero1niner opened 4 years ago

zero1niner commented 4 years ago

Hi Mykle. thanks for the awesome module. I noticed that if I add a video background, it will loop for a while, but eventually stop. Do you have any ideas on what can be modified to keep the file looping indefinitely?

I second this, would be great to fix this issue

Third. Worked great for a bit but now it's just a static image.

Just installed it for the first time today, adding my ditto - just a still frame of the mp4 I added to the videos folder

For anyone having this issue or who finds it in the future - I merely bypassed this by installing this module https://github.com/jasonyork/MMM-auto-refresh and set it to refresh every thirty minutes. Its a very brief refresh so I usually don't notice it.

I also scripted a Python bot to change the video at the same interval so every half hour I have a new video. I'll be releasing it in a few days if anyone is interested, it'll be on my GitHub soon.

Interesting solution. I wonder if there's a way to tie in a PIR sensor to the refresh or the playback of the video in addition to the screen toggle.

That's too much work and you don't need to do that LOL

What about for videos that play from the local SD card?

I’m sure that works if you want to stream from YouTube.

I no longer use MagicMirror but I didn’t like streaming from YouTube and preferred videos from my card so that wouldn’t work for me.

Thanks for letting me know there was a simpler way for YouTube.
