I used to have a similar setup but had it stream directly into MPV using the ytdl hook. Do you have it download the videos into a cache automatically and then load from file later and if so, how did you set that up?

I like Ardour. Unfa on YouTube made a great tutorial on how to use it.

To be fair there is so much JPEG compression on the image, you can't see much of anything.

No, it is customer's since there will only be one customer left at that point.

Sounds like something you are using to manage your packages to me...

IANAL but it looks like they are violating Apache 2, as they are supposed to retain the license and mark any changes.

Sure. If you are using an nvidia optimus laptop, you should also add __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia at the start of the last line when running in hybrid mode to run mpv on the dgpu. You should have a file at ~/.wallpaperrc that contains wallpaper_playlist: /path/to/mpv/playlist. You may want to add this script to your startup sequence via your wm/de.

#!/bin/sh

WALLPAPER_PLAYLIST=$(cat ~/.wallpaperrc | grep -v '^\w*#' | grep 'wallpaper_playlist' | sed "s/wallpaper_playlist: //")


xwinwrap -g 1920x1080 -ov -- mpv -wid WID --no-osc --no-audio --loop-playlist --shuffle --playlist=$WALLPAPER_PLAYLIST

Hope this helps!

I set mpv as the root window which worked well. I stopped using it a while back, but if you are interested, I could dig up the simple script for you (literally one or two lines iirc).
