YouTube Videos as Wallpapers don't work anymore #837

Closed DLarisa closed 2 years ago

DLarisa commented 2 years ago

Hello. So, I always start my laptop with a video from youtube using lively. I updated the app today because, lately, the video was buffering (no other problem; otherwise I would have not updated at all). I am using lively for maybe a year or so and no other issues have arised. I updated today and the app is not allowing me to put any video from YT as wallpaper anymore. When I try, the screen gets black and I can only hear the sound; but if I try to pause, mute etc... lively, it has no effect. The only things that works now are the wallpapers that are preinstalled. Here is the log file: 20211022_202353.txt Can you help me please?

Is it normal for the videos to still buffer? I tried both options: with yt-dl and with edge and the videos still buffer.

Edge is just opening the link.. it should not buffer unless something is wrong with your network. (If you have yt-dl .exe present then Edge won't be used,)

Well I moved yt-dlp.exe in the plugins\mpv folder instead of the youtube-dl.exe and now it doesn't work at all. :( Sorry to keep bothering you but I don't know what's happening. As for the Edge options, I uninstalled it bcs it didn't work better and my connection is working very well
