This repo includes live_wallpaper.sh — a script that uses mpv to play a video on the Nemo desktop window, turning it into a live wallpaper. It works by detecting the Nemo desktop window ID automatically using xwininfo, so no manual clicking required.
Dependencies: mpv and xwininfo (part of x11-utils)
sudo apt install mpv x11-utilsOne-time, with default video (set your path inside the script):
./live_wallpaper.shOne-time, with a custom video path:
./live_wallpaper.sh ~/Videos/wallpapers/rain.mp4Help:
./live_wallpaper.sh --helpTo have your live wallpaper apply automatically on login, add the script to your startup applications:
-
Open Startup Applications (search for it in the app menu)
-
Click Add
-
Set the command to the full path of the script, e.g.:
/home/username/Videos/wallpapers/live_wallpaper.shOr with a specific video:
/home/username/Videos/wallpapers/live_wallpaper.sh /path/to/video.mp4 -

Live Wallpaperand save
Note: This script is written for Linux Mint with Cinnamon (Nemo desktop). It will not work on GNOME, KDE, or Wayland-based setups out of the box.
