stopping cause mpvpaper is hidden #74

Closed v1ncenz0graw closed 2 months ago

v1ncenz0graw commented 3 months ago

OS: Fedora 40 Device: Asus ROG Strix g16 (2023) GPU: NVIDIA 4060 8gb CPU: Core i7 Issue: mpvpaper -f -o "no-audio loop" "*" ~/Desktop/toyota.mp4 video runs for several times and freezes. then tried with mpvpaper -vs -o "no-audio loop" "*" ~/Desktop/toyota.mp4 and in the log, it says "stopping cause mpvpaper is hidden". even if i don't activate any app yet

How can i prevent mpvpaper to go hidden?

2 things

  1. Did you compile and run from the latest commit? As I feel like this issue is from the fact the old build would drop frames on NVIDIA GPUs.

  2. Read the man page. If you don't feel like reading the man page -s means stop automatically if mpvpaper is hidden. Like behind a fullscreen window. If you don't care for that feature or think it doesn't work on your WM (which is possible as it's just a hack) You can just add your programs that shows with pidof at ~/.config/mpvpaper/stoplist

Thanks, it is working now

I made a new stable release of mpvpaper so this should not come up again.
