Download Hidamari on Flathub or compile it yourself https://github.com/jeffshee/hidamari

I used Hidamari. You can find it on flathub.

I would suggest hidamari there's a new port for gnome users hanabi

For those looking for how to set it as a animated wallpaper in Linux Hidamari

Any advantage or highlight compared to hidamari?

It should be possible to replace Hidamari with mpvpaper on Wayland.

For mp4 you can use mpvpaper, works fine!

Linux Wayland folks can use these with mpvpaper, works like a charm, just make sure to have all mpv deps (including devel) installed.

AFAIK swaybg cannot display animated GIFs, but came across this post, which mentions these projects: - oguri - MPVPaper

Perhaps reading through the code for mpvpaper might provide some pointers: https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper

mpvpaper on the other hand is an entire media player, so it should handle anything lol

You could probably hack something together with a daemon that generates a wallpaper with the time on it and sends e.g. swaysmg output * background /path/to/bg fill at the correct intervals, but I haven’t tried. Alternatively could hack on https://github.com/vilhalmer/oguri or https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper which do animated backgrounds.
