Streaming Wallpaper

Lively can play online video streams as wallpaper.

Not working?

Try the following:

1. Download the latest version of yt-dlp.exe software.
2. Close any running video wallpapers.
3. Navigate to Lively install location.

• For non-admin install:

  C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Programs\Lively Wallpaper\

• For admin install:

  C:\Program Files\Lively Wallpaper\

4. Open \plugins\mpv\ folder, rename yt-dlp to youtube-dl and copy the file to this location.
5. Close and re-open Lively, navigate Lively Settings -> Wallpaper > Stream to adjust Video Quality and check Detect Streams.
6. Simply drag and drop the video website address into lively window to set as wallpaper.

Note

This is mainly intended for live streams and will consume internet data, for regular videos it is recommended to download the video file (using third party tools) to use as wallpaper instead.
