maybe there is an easy way to do this that I'm overlooking, but what I'd really like is to point it at a directory full of videos, and have it randomly select one to play, switching based on the setting of --slideshow. is there a way to do this right now?

I don't understand. It already does that. And you can add the "randomly" part in with shuffle added to --mpv-options like so: mpvpaper --slideshow 5 -o "shuffle" HDMI-A-1 /my/videos/

yep, this is what I was looking for, thanks! wasn't clear to me that would work, since the docs mostly just say "playlist", and that doesn't == "directory" to me. thanks!
