I don't really know what is going wrong. Mpvpaper shows no errors when starting the program, and I cannot find anything wrong, but the background will just not work. I tried many different files and none of them worked, and I am a bit confused. It is just a completely black screen, while CLI tells me that the video is playing. image image

This is already a well documented issue. Here: https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper/issues/32 And here: https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper/issues/29

@raffaem was having this issue as well. Are you still experiencing this raffaem from: https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper/issues/32 ?

I fixed this by using the separate commit that you sent in one of the issues, it works perfectly.

So you used mpvpaper from this commit: https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper/commit/f65700a3ecc9ecd8ca501e18a807ee18845f9441 Before the new render loop was created to support multiple monitor setups.

If this issue is unsolvable, I might just bring back the old render loop as an argument to toggle. Or just bring back the nvidia-fix branch, so people can just use that. It's kind of a hack for a solution, but there's not much I think I could due besides that.

https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper/commit/f65700a3ecc9ecd8ca501e18a807ee18845f9441 works!

f65700a works!

I know... this is an old issue now.

I would like to see if @raffaem will respond before I do anything else.

I also didn't understand what GPU and driver @Pipenguim is using

Hey, I just wanted to add another data point. I'm running Hyprland with nvidia-open-dkms, current master branch drops all frames however as previously reported https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper/commit/f65700a3ecc9ecd8ca501e18a807ee18845f9441 works for me
