Multi-monitor requires passing of the --geometry argument to mpv as well #14

The -g WxH+X+Y option in xwinwrap seems to be useless, at least for my use case where I have two monitors and want to duplicate the animated background on both, each with different resolutions. Using the -g option seemed to have little to no effect on the geometry of the actual display, and it would just stretch the video across both monitors. Maybe something to do with xinerama?

Anyway, the solution was to use the --geometry flag in mpv and run xwinwrap twice, once for each monitor. Posting this here so other people can see.

How do you managed to do that?

I'm struggling to put an GIF as wallpaper, I'm on ArchLinux with i3-WM my monitor setup is ( 1: 1366x768 | 2: 1280x1024)

Yeah I am using this with streamlink and the -g option does nothing. The player runs right in the middle of my two monitors no matter what I do. However, I can't try this suggestion because I am unable to add flags to mpv without it just failing altogether. streamlink https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A best --player="xwinwrap -ov -fs -- "mpv --geometry=1920x1080" -cache 4096 -quiet -loop 0 -wid WID" This is probably due to the nested quotes, but I tried changing the inner ones to ' and it still failed with no useful error.
