mpvpaper VS foo-Wallpaper-Feh-Gif

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.

Did you solve your problem? now I can run gif as wallpaper with that.

if feh wallpaper work on zorin OS, you can try my script: https://github.com/thomas10-10/foo-Wallpaper-Feh-Gif

sudo apt install feh git clone https://github.com/thomas10-10/foo-Wallpaper-Feh-Gif.git

I first tried using foo-Wallpaper-Feh-Gif with a GIF, but it used way too much CPU power. With it running my CPU temp jumped about 40 degrees F.
