Video Wallpaper (hw-accelerate) : Use 'mpv' as a video player backend with 'xwinwrap' to wrap our window to be use as a desktop background
You want to use a live wallpaper in x11?
Great!!...but It come as a cost.
I did experiment with .gif backend and non hardware accelerate backend, It sucks.
CPU usage was so high (40% up just for idle), unacceptable for my laptop.
Running with those backend for such a really long time will slowly turn your laptop into the hot potato.
But don't be upset, we can reduce those cost.
Using the video player with hardware video decoding support can reduce the cost.
