MPVPaper support? #12

Open Continous opened 8 months ago

Continous commented 8 months ago

MPV Paper (https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper) is a wallpaper client that utilizes MPV to play a video on the user's wallpaper. Apparently it is easy to control and forward files/inputs to it. Videos are a lot heavier on people's system, but it may be preferable or more convenient than a simple animated image format for some.

One problem that I faced last time I considered it was that we need to generate previews of the videos (which is more difficult to efficiently) instead of previews of images (which is done with standard GTK tools). Plus, it does not seem to support all other features like scaling, background colors etc. But that is something I can try to implement.

Everyone appreciates your effort, so don't burn yourself out on it. Just take your time. I don't think anyone would assume it to be easy.
