mpvpaper -o "no-audio" '*' XCDEMainMenuScreen1080p20Mbps2.mp4

So I want to have a animated wallpaper, but maybe the layer isnt correct? The command works, but for example when I click the desktop button in the bottom right. It shows my background and the video background doesn't come back until i click on another app.

also if you could help me adding infinite looping to my video.

See here as to why: https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper/issues/13 But in short, it's not a supported feature by design.

It's running mpv so just about anything you can do in mpv you can do with mpvpaper. Just pass the relevant mpv arguments using --mpv-options -o You want to use loop here: https://mpv.io/manual/master/#options-loop So in your case you could use mpvpaper -o "--loop" "*" /path/to/media

Besides that, I'm closing this issue. KDE is not supported by mpvpaper unless KWin suddenly starts running on wlroots. You could either ignore the issue or look for an alternative like this kde plugin.
