mpvpaper is a video wallpaper program for wlroots-based Wayland compositors such as sway, using mpv to render videos as desktop wallpapers. It supports per-output or all-output playback, forwarding mpv options, and IPC-based control while forked.
Use cases
- play a video as my wallpaper on sway
- set a live wallpaper on wayland
- loop a video background on all monitors
- control my wallpaper playback with mpv keybindings
- pause my video wallpaper via ipc socket
- stream a url playlist as my desktop background
When to avoid
- you are on X11 rather than wayland
- you use a GNOME or KDE desktop without wlroots
- you only need static image wallpapers
