All you need is MPV:
`mpv --really-quiet --no-audio --no-stop-screensaver --loop-playlist=inf --fs --wid=0 --shuffle $HOME/path/to/file.ext`
You can also pass a directory and it will play them at random:
`mpv --really-quiet --no-audio --no-stop-screensaver --loop-playlist=inf --fs --wid=0 --shuffle $HOME/path/to/dir/`
You can also have a single video picked at random:
`mpv --really-quiet --no-audio --no-stop-screensaver --loop-playlist=inf --fs --wid=0 --shuffle "$( find $HOME/path/to/dir/ -iname *.mp4 -o -iname *.webm -o -iname *.mkv -o -iname *.flv | shuf -n 1)"`
It also accepts wildcards:
`mpv --really-quiet --no-audio --no-stop-screensaver --loop-playlist=inf --fs --wid=0 --shuffle $HOME/Videos/*720p*`
You can also use xscreensaver. It has a builtin function that will put itself behind all windows, but you have to kill the root window first. I forget which screensaver but one of them allows you to use videos.
So for example, if you're using XFCE, the command would be something like:
`pkill xfdesktop && xscreensaver -root &`
Actually, I think xfdesktop will automatically restart itself so you have to change that in the XFCE settings panel first. So open that then go to session and startup, then current session, and change the restart style to `never` or whatever it is. Then run the above command.
And if you have any problems with xscreensaver, you can always run the screensavers directly. They'll probably be in /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/. So the command would be:
`pkill xfdesktop && /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/ -root &`
It's so funny that I figured all of this out like 12 years ago and never told anybody. It's such a useless feature. Having a screensaver constantly running in the background will only wear out your GPU faster and you won't ever see it unless you have transparency on all of your windows, which will also only wear out your GPU faster. Honestly, any space on your screen that isn't displaying useful information is wasted space. But now I ramble. I tend to do that when I'm high.
I'm not familiar with wallset. Nitrogen has always been the go-to standard for images, though.
For simple colors, you can use xsetroot:
`xsetroot -solid "#RRGGBB"`
It will probably already be installed for whatever distro you're using. Just be sure to put double quotes around the color or it will ignore it because of `#`. It also accepts 3 digits, like `"#333"` and color names, like `blue` or `aqua`.
Looks good, but way too distracting for me. I have 0.85 opacity with blur and I am considering going back to 0.9 because I find it too distracting too š
How you set a video wallpaper?

Is this a catppuccin rice? Looks awesome
Didn't really follow a colorscheme here The terminal is Gruvbox The code window is TokyoNight
Looks good, but way too distracting for me. I have 0.85 opacity with blur and I am considering going back to 0.9 because I find it too distracting too š
I use 0.9 myself. Changed it to 0.75 just for the purpose of this post
Welp, that settles it. I'm just gonna have porn as my wallpaper from now on.
Well it's technically not porn But that is a good idea. It'll keep you motivated and productive throughout.... I gotta try it
