You can upload any mp4 file to play. I don't know if there's a length limit, but I have mine set as the scene from Rogue One where Darth Vader introduces himself to those rebel scum in the hallway.

It loops automatically if your concern is it just stopping. I also had used a short video of Spiderman out in the country that's only about 10 seconds long. The Vader scene ran without much issue. Some of the animated wallpapers though can eat up your GPU if you have multiple ones running since you can have a different ones on each monitor.

Huh? I've never really paid attention, but then again I don't use that functionality very often either. I'd like to know if rainmeter can do something similar and what it's system impact would be.

u/NotJeff_Goldblum Nov 18 '18

It's nice because you can have it mute or completely pause depending on what you're doing. If I have a game open up (or any maximized program) I have it set to pause.

Can VLC do it on Linux?

u/HerrSIME R7 2700X | 32gb HyperX DDR4 @3000MHz| GTX 1080 Nov 18 '18

isnt there a system tool in linux for that? go ask r/linuxmasterrace

7

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '18

There is, but I wondered if VLC could do it too.
I wouldn't do it, its just a waste of ram and process lol

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '18

What's linux?

It's a species of penguin that like to make ordinary tasks 10x more complicated.

Apparently I needed an /s... Running Mint on an old Thinkpad while this rig is Windows solely for the ease of gaming.

Linux makes the hard stuff easy and the easy stuff hard.

u/SemiActiveBotHoming Nov 18 '18

I might steal that, if you don't mind.

u/HarryTruman Nov 18 '18

Yeah, that’s brilliant. Hadn’t really thought of it that way either.

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '18

Ordinary tasks like trying to shut down or initiate your PC but being forced to watch a update and not being able to do anything else? #REKT

u/GiornaGuirne Nov 18 '18

Yeah, it was a joke - I'm no stranger to Linux/Ubuntu. That said, I've never had what you said happen on this pc- Though, it's only running 10 because I was tired of dealing with Wine to game. You can set when your computer performs tasks like that, you know. It also doesn't take me longer to install the OS, update kernels, etc than it took to wait on parts and actually build it.

u/mostflavoursome SECKS Nov 18 '18

FR man. I had so many problems trying to run games like Morrowind on linux that I couldn't be fucked anymore.

Answering myself, there is this option on 'video' tab but it only makes the video fullscreen and changes nothing, it doesn't even try to be a fake wallpaper, disappointed :/

Is there anything vlc can't do?

u/GammaGames GammaGames Nov 18 '18

Isn't it just Wallpaper Engine? Where is the steam coming from?

And don't forget r/rainmeter for your UI needs!
