wluma VS mpvpaper

Been using this https://github.com/Fushko/gammy/releases on F35. Now that Fedora defaults to Wayland on Nvidia cards i can't use it anymore (I could if i went back to X11 i suppose). I have tried https://github.com/maximbaz/wluma but it doesn't seem to work on fedora, even when compiling it myself. Anyone got a similar software that does work? I hate getting flashbanged when opening a website with a white background at 23:00.

You could look into potentially porting https://github.com/maximbaz/wluma to use gnome protocols. That does a lot of heavy lifting to make analyzing overall color efficient and battery-friendly, and I don't *think* it would require a whole lot of modification to get it to work nicely with mutter

https://github.com/maximbaz/wluma too to get adaptive luminosity on a Wayland based laptop.

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.
