I have one monitor. If I understood correctly these are the commands that will be executed:

xrandr | grep " connected\|\*" | pcregrep -o1 '([0-9]{1,}[x]{1,1}[0-9+]{1,}) \('
3840x2160+0+0

xwinwrap -g 3840x2160+0+0 -fdt -ni -b -nf -un -o
xwinwrap: Error: couldn't create command line
...

I installed this app from the AUR: aur/ghostlexly-gpu-video-wallpaper 2021.11.26.r9.g8773e95-1 [installed]

Hey,

I have reverted the latest commit about WID, can you retry with the new changes ?

I cloned and installed the repo. Same error as before.

That commit is the solution, see https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/7410#issuecomment-1241893652.

You need to use mpv -wid %WID: "$scriptdir"/xwinwrap -g $item -fdt -ni -b -nf -un -o 1.0 -- mpv -wid %WID --loop --no-audio "$VIDEO_PATH" & disown

Is the AUR package old maybe? aur/ghostlexly-gpu-video-wallpaper 2021.11.26.r9.g8773e95-1 [0+] [0.00%] [19 Sep 2022]. It should be a -git version since there are no releases.

Merged back the commit. Thanks for the infos, the package on AUR seems to be outdated.

Sorry for the inconvenience, PKGBUILD updated, now it should work fine, also tested in Artix btw
