Mpvpaper not working #46

Closed MrDisguised closed 2 months ago

MrDisguised commented 1 year ago

I installed the mpvpaper package from AUR and after running this command - mpvpaper -p -f -o -loop HDMI-A-1 O1CBmbpGGVIyJAZ_4k\ konosuba\ megumin\ 60fps\ live\ wallpaper.mp4 It does nothing. I cannot see the video (nor hear the sound) being played.

EDIT : I tried to install the ffnvcodec-headers packages as mentioned in the aur comments but it didn't work.

2 things

First, when you pass -f you know you're forking the process, right? So there is no way to diagnose your issue at all when that happens. As said in --help --fork -f Forks mpvpaper so you can close the terminal

Second, when you pass -o please use your mpv options within quotes "". Because mpvpaper might end up just ignoring your mpv args. As said in --help --mpv-options -o "OPTIONS" Forwards mpv options (Must be within quotes"")

Besides those 2 things, it looks like you might have a bad case of having a NVIDIA GPU on hyperland. Join the club here: https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper/issues/44 https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper/issues/38 https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper/issues/32

So no workaround for this bug ?

EDIT : So I have to clone this repo and then I have to build the packages ?

Pretty much. The behavior is unpredictable on NVIDIA GPUs with the proprietary drivers, some say it works, some don't. Despite being generally terrible, the nouveau driver works fine. So it isn't a hardware issue.

Oh ok thanks a lot!!!! Just curious btw how can I uninstall the package after building it ?

If you used ninja -C build install then you could just delete the files from /usr/local/bin/ manually.

Please try the latest commits and compile from master. I believe this is now solved.

ivangeorgiew commented 2 months ago

I'm not OP, but I had the same exact problem as him. However now that I built with your latest changes from master, everything is working correctly. Thank you!

EDIT: I'm using commit d8164bb6bd2960d2f7f6a9573e086d07d440f037 if anyone is interested.

GhostNaN commented 2 months ago

After the last update 1.6, this problem should be fixed now. If this is not the case, feel free to reopen the issue.
